In stanza four, she shows interest in the poison that the scientist is exerting. She asks what the blue potion is far. The speaker reveals elements of love through rich colours “such oozing come”. By using beautiful and harmless colours to describe the poison shows us to what extent she would go to get her partner back.
The purple shrub in the story is an ambiguous mixture of both mystery and arrogance. Magnificent yet poisonous, the plant symbolizes how Beatrice has her hold upon Giovanni and how it blinds his truthful knowledge about her, expressing his arrogance and mysteriousness. “Nor did he fail again to observe, or imagine, an analogy between the beautiful girl and the gorgeous shrub that hung its gemlike flowers over the fountain.” Giovanni fails yet again to see the person Beatrice truly is and her unusual resemblance to this purple shrub. “But now, unless Giovanni’s draughts of wine had bewildered his senses, a singular incident occurred…a drop or two of moisture from the broken stem of the flower descended upon the lizard’s head. For an instant, the reptile contorted itself violently, then lay motionless in the sunshine.

The use of a repulsive worm as the symbol for truth implies that the narrator views illuminating truth negatively. The magnifying glass’s reflection of visible and invisible truths illustrates the narrator’s point that close inspection of the truth will highlight both personal flaws and the flaws of others. Without the magnifying glass Strephon and Celia would never have noticed the worm in Celia’s nose. However, once Celia sees the worm she is unable to ignore it and faithfully directs the worm out of her nose from head to tail (65-66).
