[Act VIII] Pármeno spreect tot Areusa syn lief
-
Description
-
After spending the night with Areusa, Pármeno wakes up to find that it is midday. Areusa asks him to stay and talk, but he feels concern that his master Calisto will be upset with his absence. He tells her that they will have plenty of time to talk later, and asks her to join him for supper at Celestina’s house later that night. She is pleased by this suggestion, and he departs (to the left he is seen leaving). When Pármeno arrives at Calisto’s house, he is greeted by Sempronio, who chides him for his lateness (seen to the right). Pármeno reveals to Sempronio the reason for his lateness, and explains his love for Areusa. The inclusion of this illustration in the eighth act is odd, since it is completely unrelated to any of the scenes contained in the act. I suspect that the use of this illustration (in place of the more relevant 1580 Antwerp edition illustration) is perhaps a consequence of the 1580 woodblock being misplaced or destroyed in the intervening 36 years. Consequently, it would not make sense to associate a particular character with any of these figures. However, we can see that each female figure is wearing a robe and a veil, while the lone male figure is wearing a hat.The entire image is identical to the one found on page 157 of the text, and nearly identical to the one found on page 64. The composition is also wholly distinct from any of the illustrations found in the 1580 Antwerp edition.
