Title: [Act VII - The Intimacy of Pármeno and Areusa]
Period: 1450-1500;
Geographic: Spain; Burgos (Spain)
Description: Celestina chastises Pármeno for murmuring during her encounter with Calisto and for opposing his own best interest (scamming Calisto), because it would negatively impact the outcome of all. She tells him that he needs to love if he wants to be loved, and offers him her prostitute Areusa in exchange for his loyalty. In this scene, we see Pármeno and Areusa having an intimate conversation, while Celestina talks with her other prostitute Elicia.
