Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's Daughter" In Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's.
Daughter," many biblical parallels can be found. The story duplicates.
the chapter of genesis in the bible in many ways. Ranging from the .
characters, to the setting, and even the deadly plant in the story. The.
account of Adam and Eve in Genesis 1-3 is extremely similar to the.
situation of Giovanni and Beatrice in the story. In both "Rappaccini's.
Daughter" and the Genesis chapters in the bible, lush, beautiful gardens.
are the setting. Both gardens are exotic and pretty, but the garden of .
Eden is bright and tropical, while Dr. Rappaccini's garden is darker and.
mysterious. Both gardens are home to a type of "forbidden" plant, but.
the garden of Eden was created by a super-natural being, and Dr.
Rappaccini's garden by Rappaccini himself. The forbidden plant in.
Genesis is a gorgeous, extremely tempting fruit plant. The fruit on.
this plant are described as extremely tempting. However, these fruits.
have been deemed prohibited by God. The plant in Rappaccini's garden is.
a large flowering bush. The flowers on this bush are unlike any others.
and extremely exquisite. The two plants share the trait of "forbidden,".
but in different ways. The fruit on the tree in Genesis was forbidden.
simply because that was the way God made it. The plant in Rappaccini's.
garden was forbidden because it was poisonous. The only people immune.
to the poison of this plant were Beatrice and Dr. Rappaccini. In.
Hawthorne's story, a parallel between Giovanni and Adam is established. .
Both are young men, and each was tempted by a woman. Giovanni in.
Hawthorne's story was lured into the garden by Beatrice; however,.
Beatrice was attempting to make Giovanni immune to the poison of the.
plant, so they could be together forever. Beatrice and Eve also share.
similarities. They both are the ones that first fall to temptation and.
which ultimately leads to each of their demise.
