* AdaptationalDumbass: Whereas the narrator of ''The Outsider'' is shown to have an understanding of his surroundings and to have some degree of literary knowledge, Giorgio is a savage monster of a man with no capacity for anything except violence.

* BlindAndTheBeast: Subverted; Rebecca, being blind, cannot see the [[AntagonistTitle titular]] monster Giorgio's hideous appearance when they meet face to face, and mistakes him for her mother, prattling on about her feelings to him as he waits on her attentively. Given his utterly horrific backstory this could be an opportunity for a [[HeelFaceTurn face turn]], but instead of a rapport built between them Rebecca is rightfully repulsed by the completely deranged Giorgio's true nature, as he grabs her up and carries her off to his dungeon to [[AttemptedRape rape her]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: While the narrator of ''The Outsider'' is certainly frightening in appearance, there's nothing to say that he would have hurt anybody, as the party guests fled when they saw him. The castle freak, however, is a lot more vicious and dangerous.

* FreudianExcuse: The castle freak has a surprisingly valid one: his mother was ashamed of his existence, and as such, kept him chained up in a small room, only coming in to either to feed him or to beat him. As such, he doesn't have any concept of social interaction aside from what he'd known his entire life. He makes the life of the titular character of the story ''Castle Freak'' is based on look cheerful!

* StalkerWithACrush: once Giorgio learns of Rebecca's presence in the castle he sneaks up to her bedroom while she's sleeping and pulls her covers off so he can have a look at her.

* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: horrifyingly subverted. As Rebecca [[{{Fanservice}} undresses for bed]], she utters a little monologue (intended for her mother, who has left the room) proclaiming that having been blinded is not so bad because, when she gets a boyfriend one day, it will automatically be a special relationship, because each partner will have to judge the other by inner character rather than superficial traits like physical beauty (or lack of disability). Sadly for Rebecca, her audience is not Susan but her AbhorrentAdmirer Giorgio, and he promptly attacks her, carrying her off into the basement to [[AttemptedRape rape her]], proving that outward ugliness does not correlate to inner beauty.
* VillainousBreakdown: When he finds the Duchess' whip, Giorgio flips out and starts using it to smash everything in sight.

* AntiVillain: There's a few subtle implications that Giorgio just wants to feel loved, but he doesn't understand how. For example he [[PeepingTom watches John orally copulating the prostitute]] and, when he gets her alone, attempts to seduce her, offering her a wine bottle. He sexually assaults her only after she uses the wine bottle to defend herself from him, and then tries to mimic what he saw John do - unfortunately, [[{{Gorn}} using his teeth.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ThePeepingTom: Giorgio approaches women this way. He secretly watches John having aex with the prostitute before approaching her, and creeps into the unseeing Rebecca's room twice, once when she's asleep in bed and, the next night, when she is [[{{Fanservice}} undressing for bed]].
