[Act XV – Areusa Recoils from Centurio While Elicia Waits for Centurio to Depart]
-
Description
-
Elicia goes to Areusa’s house to inform her about the deaths of Celestina, Sempronio, and Pármeno. As she approaches the door, she overhears Areusa in a fit of rage. She realizes that Areusa is yelling at someone (Centurio) and waits for him to leave before entering. Areusa sees that Elicia is in mourning and asks her to explain why, and Elicia tells her about the deaths. With a desire to avenge the deaths that were caused as a result of Calisto's love for Melibea, they decide to ask Centurio to kill Calisto.In this illustration, we see Centurio reaching out toward Areusa, who appears to be pulling away from him. She is wearing a robe and a veil, while he is wearing a hat. In his left hand he is holding a sword, the tip of which is resting on the ground. To the right we see Elicia awaiting the departure of Centurio (in the narrative she waits outside the house). She is wearing a robe and a veil, and her posture and expression convey an air of sadness.The entire image is identical to those found on pages 200 and 246 of the text.
