Giovanni falls in love with Beatrice, the beautiful daughter of Dr. Rappaccini, who has confined her to his poisonous garden. Giovanni visits Beatrice daily in the garden through a private entrance. However, Beatrice has been exposed to so many toxic plants that her body and breath have become poisonous. In an attempt to cure Beatrice so they can be together, Giovanni gives her medicine provided by Dr. Baglioni, but it ends up killing her instead of removing the poison from her system.

3. Giovanni Giovanni lived in a small town in Italy. He is a remarkable beauty of a person and he studies at the University of Padua. Than he fell in love with Beatrice. The door Giovanni found a private entrance too this garden. He visits Beatrice everyday in the garden.

4. When Giovanni first saw Beatrice in the garden, he fell in love. One day he found a private entrance to this garden. Giovanni visits the garden to see Beatrice.

7. In this short story, Rappaccini’s Daughter, there are three included suspects that could be blamed for Beatrice’s death. I believe Giovanni is the most reliable suspect. Giovanni indeed did love her in the beginning of the story, but as the story went along, his perception’s changed. Giovanni is the one who gives Beatrice the medicine that kills her. He hands he a vial of medicine, and tell her this will cure her. I think this is his fault because he never questioned Rappaccini. Maybe he insists on taking this with her, to cover up the fact that he knows this is poisoned. By doing what Rappaccini has told him to, he killed Beatrice whether he knew it was going to happen or not. Giovanni was the only one who could have destroyed it, but in the end, her death gets blamed on him.
