[Act XVI – Melibea, Lucrecia, Alisa, and Pleberio]
-
Description
-
Melibea overhears her parents Pleberio and Alisa (the two rightmost figures) talking about finding her a husband. They discuss her innocence, highlighting that she is still a virgin and has probably never considered having a male companion. Melibea grows frustrated with their assumption that she is naïve and ignorant and asks Lucrecia (as depicted by the two leftmost figures) to disrupt their conversation.[The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]
