In Rappaccini's Daughter by Hawthorne, does Giovanni ever truly self-reflect? If not, do you think he will do so after this story is over?

Giovanni is filled with
rage at Beatrice and
vents his anger to her for being poisonous. After he insults her, he still

dreams that there is a way to change her nature and for her to be united with him on
earth. In
short, Giovanni dreams the impossible and he rashly goes to procure
an antidote that only winds
up killing Beatrice. He does not reflect that his
anger can not be turned back into love and
that Beatrice can never be his.
Instead, he is angry, selfish, and rash, and he does not take
time to reflect
on the unchanging nature of Beatrice's poisonous being. After Beatrice dies,
he
will likely still only mourn his own fate without considering his effect
on her. Giovanni is the
epitome of a self-interested lover who does not truly
love Beatrice but only wants what he
cannot have.
