After seeing Beatrice die at my feet Giovanni was at a loss for words. My whole world seemed to be shaken, and I knew that I could not live without her. There was only one thing to do. I knew I must drink the antidote in hopes of also dying so that I could be with my beloved Beatrice. Although I was hoping that I "could dream of an earthly reunion and earthly happiness as possible after such deep love had been so bitterly wronged" ,I knew that it was not possible because she was now dead. If I wanted a reunion, I would have to drink the antidote. Also, by doing this maybe I could teach Rappiccini that life really was more important than any scientific experiment.

As I thought this over, I knew it would never help the situation. With me also dead, there would be more heartache and I doubted that dying would help Rappiccini change his mind about life being more important. Even as I was thinking this, another idea about what could happen started

I looked over at her and saw her arm move. I quickly called everyone into her room as she gradually awoke. Then as time went by I slowly nursed Beatrice back to health and we were able, with the help of Baglioni, to return to normal and go back to Italy.

As I sat staring at Beatrice with Rappaccini standing next to him, I began to cry. How could I have been so harsh to her? Why did I give her the antidote? Rappaccini tried to comfort me, as he too stood there stunned! Not knowing what else to do now that Beatrice was gone and not being able to live out or away from the garden I decided to stay and help Rappaccini with his research. After all, "are there many men capable of so spiritual a love of science?" Also, I knew that Rappaccini would want my help. Baglioni himself said so when he told me that "for some purpose or other, this man of science is making a study of you." So there I stayed for many years to come helping Rappaccini with his work and taking walks in the garden remembering the days when I used to walk the same paths with Beatrice.

Although I was grieving, I got yet another thought of what could happen next.

I rushed to Beatrice's side as soon as she fell, and realized that she was still alive but just in a coma. They brought a doctor to come see her and he said that he had no idea how long she would be in a coma and what she would be like if and when she got out. I knew that I must stay with her because I was the only one that could care for her for I too was poisonous. I stayed with her as the days turned to weeks and the weeks
