What lesson(s) do the readers learn from "Rappaccini's Daughter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne?

The story’s tragic end demonstrates that Beatrice’s death is the product of the ambitions of three men. Her father, Doctor Rappaccini, may be considered a callous scientist who, as Baglioni would have us believe, offered his daughter up as a scientific experiment. Beatrice is seen for her beauty and nothing else. This is a patriarchal world where women are subjugated by the views of men.
