On the first page, Hawthorne writes about Giovanni being in his new rental unit that bared family crest which looked like the previous occupants had gone through some kind of suffering like Dante did in Dante’s Inferno. This could provide evidence that someone else might suffer such as the tenant before Giovanni. The author describes how the plant’s ‘breath’ crepe up Giovanni’s place while dreaming of the flower and Beatrice. It feels as though something is happening to Giovanni that involves the flower and Beatrice, possibly becoming similar to them. Lastly, the author uses an example foreshadowing to show readers that something is not right with the beautiful Beatrice
