[Act XV – Areusa and Elicia Standing Beside Centurio]
-
Description
-
Elicia (presumably the leftmost figure, seeing as veils indicate mourning dress) walks to Areusa’s house to tell her about the deaths of Celestina, Sempronio, and Pármeno. As she approaches, Elicia hears Areusa (central figure) wailing within and infers that she must have already heard the bad news. She then hears another voice and realizes that Areusa is arguing with someone (Centurio, rightmost figure). In a fit of rage, Areusa forces Centurio out of her house. Once he leaves, Elicia enters and informs Areusa of the tragedy. They blame the deaths on Calisto’s love for Melibea and set their sights on revenge. They resolve to seek the aid of Centurio in murdering Calisto.
