Title: [Act VIII - Pármeno Joins Sempronio and Celestina]
Period: 1450-1500;
Geographic: Spain; Burgos (Spain)
Description: After spending the night with Areusa, Pármeno returns to Calisto's house quite late to find Sempronio waiting. Pármeno tells Sempronio that he has joined him and Celestina in their plans, talks about the happiness he has achieved by meeting Areúsa. He expresses regret at having previously opposed them, and states that he is now willing to cooperate with them on everything, recognizing that there is an opportunity for him to profit from the love Calisto has for Melibea. They both agree on this and move forward with scamming Calisto. To the left we see Calisto, who appears to have a look of sadness or concern on his face.
