Just replaying a scene that has been bugging me- Anyone else get the feeling of a bit of foreshadowing in this scene (reference to properties of the plant Belladonna) Especially considering the flashback commentary in the library later on: DunDunDun.PNG

Or maybe he called her Belladonna cause in Italian bella means beautiful, donna means woman and Isabella perfectly fits that description.
And, yes yes every day is still Bella's day.

Well ...
Yes and No.
It is not Belladonna but bella donna in italian. Two words.

I guess by calling her Belladonna the MC compares her to the plant with the latin name amaryllis belladonna. It is also known (among other names) as naked lady lily.

Take into account his intoxicated state and the view he has at the time he said it :devilish:

It's probably referring to atropa belladonna, which is deadly nightshade in English.

Yes and no.
This was also the first I had in mind. But.
It does not 100% compare in this scene.
He sees Isabella from below, watching her standing over him with a skirt.
No way he is thinking about a toxic plant at this moment, a beautiful flower nicknamed naked lady lily on the other hand...
As said above, think about his intoxicated state. He is able to draw rather simple conclusions but not able of higher cognitive actions.

Bella can be poison if you aren't nice with her.
