Beatrice Rappaccini is the very beautiful daughter of Dr. Rappaccini. She is forced by her father to stay among his poisonous gardens. Nonetheless, she attracts the attention and then love of Giovanni. However, Beatrice's very nature is poisonous; any living creature or plant that approaches her withers and dies immediately. Nonetheless, Beatrice and Giovanni fall in love. Her poisonous nature begins to affect Giovanni, and he behaves coldly toward her. When her father explains that he has made her deadly to protect her, she insists she would rather be loved than feared. She chooses to swallow the antidote and die rather than to live as a monster.
