When reading Rappaccini's Daughter, there were some words that I didn't know, so I listed them here. I did, however, think that the vocabulary in this story was easier than the vocabulary of The Scarlet letter. While a little outdated, the words seemed to be somewhat more current.
Jovial- characterized by a hearty, joyous humor or a spirit of good-fellowship. This would be a good word to describe Giovanni when he is lovestruck.
Opulent- wealthy. My sister used this word all the time when she was younger, thinking she had made it up.
