[Act XIII – Execution of Pármeno and Sempronio]
-
Description
-
The morning come, Calisto calls for Tristan, one of his servants, and asks him to get Sempronio and Pármeno. Tristan tells Calisto that they are not present, and Calisto asks him to find them. As Tristan waits outside the front door, he sees Sosia, another of Calisto’s servants, approaching in tears. Sosia tells Tristan that Pármeno and Sempronio are dead, and they go to inform Calisto. Sosia explains that they were publicly decapitated by the Alguacil’s men (as seen in this illustration). Calisto asks the reason of their execution, and he replies that they murdered Celestina because she would not give them their share in the gold chain that Calisto had given her as payment. Calisto laments this sad outcome, blaming it on Celestina’s deceptive and treacherous ways.[None of the elements in this illustration are found elsewhere in this edition.]
