He thought she was beautiful and decided to send Sweeney/Benjamin away so he could get to her. When this didn't work, he tricked her into coming to a ball, where she got just a little bit drunk and a whole lot confused and he raped her. This caused her to take poisen, which caused her to go crazy.

Judge Turpin raped her, and then she tried to kill herself with arsenic. But instead of dying, she became crazy. At the end, Sweeney accidentally kills her, thinking that she's just a homeless, beggar woman.

Why did Sweeney Todd want revenge with everybody?

Sweeney Todd wanted revenge because, Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp), a skilled barber, is falsely charged and sentenced to a life of hard labour in Australia by the corrupt Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman), who lusts after Barker's wife Lucy (Laura Michelle Kelly). Fifteen years later, under the assumed name "Sweeney Todd", Barker escapes the penal colony by sea, but is shipwrecked. He is saved by sailor Anthony Hope (Jamie Campbell Bower), who takes him aboard the ship Bountiful, headed for England. Upon arrival, Todd returns to his old flat above Nellie Lovett's (Helena Bonham Carter) pie shop on Fleet Street. There Lovett tells him that his wife took poison after being raped by Turpin, who then adopted Todd's daughter Johanna (Jayne Wisener) as his ward. Todd vows revenge and reopens his barber shop in his upstairs flat.
