[Act XVI – Melibea and Lucrecia Overhear Pleberio and Alisa Discussing the Possibility of Finding a Husband for Melibea]
-
Description
-
Melibea (presumably the right-central figure, since her robe appears ornate and she is wearing multiple necklaces) overhears Pleberio (left-central figure) and Alisa (leftmost figure), her parents, talking about the prospect of giving her away in marriage. They discuss the mistaken fact that she is still a virgin, and Alisa points out that she has probably never considered having a male companion. Melibea grows frustrated with their presumption that she is ignorant, and she orders Lucrecia (rightmost figure) to interrupt the conversation.
