House of Cards Foreshadowing in the Final Scene

SPOILERS

      Music in television and movies are a great way to create a feel or emotion and really set the scene. Another way to use music is to foreshadow future events. In the final episode of House of Cards they use music to potentially foreshadow the feeling of season 3.

     In the final episode the protagonist Frank Underwood meets with his enemy Raymond Tusk at an opera. During the conversation Tusk tells Frank that when he is put in prison to try and remember how beautiful the music was tonight. To which Frank responds "I never liked Puccini, he's such a downer. I prefer a happier tone" he then walks away humming hail to the chief. 

     Later in the final scene of the episode when Frank Underwood's final plan works and he is awarded the the presidency. As he is walking down the hallway to the oval office there is opera playing in the background. After hearing it I did some poking around and discovered that the Puccini is also what is playing in the background. I don't know exactly what that means for the next scene, but I am predicting that it will be bad news for Frank Underwood since he thinks Puccini is a downer and his music is what was being played over Frank's final moment of success as he finally reaches his goal.
