Rappaccini is a scientist who works in isolation and who keeps his daughter Beatrice confined in a garden with poisonous.  His experiments have ultimately turned his daughter into one who is immune to the poison around her; she is now poisonous herself.  Even though Giovanni wants to fall in love with her, he cannot and ultimately he succumbs to her poison, thus becoming poison himself.  He tries to find an antidote, but ultimately that kills Beatrice.
