[Act XII (First Illustration) – Calisto Talking to Melibea and Lucrecia Through Melibea’s Door While Sempronio and Pármeno Stand Guard]
-
Description
-
As midnight approaches, Calisto (central figure), Sempronio (leftmost figure), and Pármeno (left-central figure) leave for Melibea’s house. Calisto asks Pármeno to knock on her door, but Pármeno replies that it would be best if his was the first voice she heard. When Calisto knocks, he is first greeted by Lucrecia (rightmost figure?), who confirms his identity. Calisto and Melibea (right-central figure; only her shoulder and headpiece are showing) talk for some time through the door, but soon Pármeno and Sempronio hear a commotion in the distance and flee. They realize the noise is coming from the alguacil’s (justice’s) men patrolling another street, and they head back toward Melibea’s house. However, the alguacil’s men soon enter upon the street where Melibea’s house lies, causing Calisto and his servants to flee to Calisto’s house. While Calisto takes his rest, Sempronio and Pármeno decide to pay Celestina a visit.
