How does the author use foreshadowing in 36 Views?

In Act I, rather than setting the stage for the scenes to come, Scene 1 is actually a stark departure from the style of most of the rest of the play, offering a disembodied scene not connected to the mainly plot-driven scenes that follow. Even thought Darius' speech does relate to the later scenes at the party, the structure of the scenes, contrasting an action-packed tale of Western stereotypes of orientalism with the private, slow removal of the superficial layers covering an 11th-century Japanese lady, foreshadows many of the themes and plot lines to come: Darius will later peel back his own superficial layers of protection and assumed stature for Dr. Hearn, while she will in turn become the effusive spinner of tales.
