Rappaccini's Daughter

[Anonymous No.]

The story is set in Padua in a distant, but unspecified past. From his quarters, Giovanni, a young student of letters, observes Beatrice, the beautiful daughter of Dr. Rappaccini, a scientist working in isolation. Beatrice is confined to the lush and locked gardens filled with poisonous plants by her father.

Giovanni notices Beatrice's strangely intimate relationship with the plants as well as the withering of fresh flowers and the death of an insect when exposed to her skin or breath . Having fallen in love, Giovanni enters the garden and meets with Beatrice a number of times regardless of the warning of his mentor, Professor Baglioni, that Rappaccini is up to no good and he and his work should be avoided. Giovanni discovers that Beatrice, having been raised in the presence of poison, was poisonous herself, and Beatrice urges Giovanni to look past her poisonous exterior and see her pure and innocent essence, creating great feelings of doubt in Giovanni.

He begins to suffer the consequences of his encounters with the plants - and with Beatrice when he discovers that he himself has become poisonous; and after another meeting with Baglioni, Giovanni brings a powerful antidote to Beatrice so that they can be together, but the antidote kills Beatrice rather than destroy her poisonous nature.

that part only appeared in ep3, Kuwadorian, and just took the setting
the only book he extracted many things is ten little niggers, he does many homages to books and mocks some mystery rules and shounen

The difference between a homage and plagiarism is that homage is used by one's white knights.

the difference is openly admitting one of them
plagiarism is just hoping someone doesn't notice it

So... people have to explicitly state when they're referencing/making an homage to something else in their writing? Since when did literature need bibliographies?
