Description
-
Melibea overhears her parents Pleberio and Alisa discussing her purity, how they should start trying to find a husband for her, and their belief that she has probably never considered having a male companion. Melibea starts to grow frustrated with their assumption that she is ignorant, and she tells Lucrecia to enter the room and interrupt the conversation. This illustration likely represents the scene in which Lucrecia interrupts Pleberio and Alisa. The left side of the image depicts Melibea and Lucrecia. Melibea is likely the figure seated on the ornate and draped bed, while Lucrecia is approaching the door with her finger pointed toward Pleberio (which is somewhat odd, since it implies a confrontation or argument). Each of the them is wearing a robe and a veil. The right side of the image depicts Pleberio, who is wearing a hat and a cloak of sorts, as he opens the door for Lucrecia. Meanwhile, Alisa sits on another ornate and draped bed while displaying an air of sadness, likely at the thought of finding someone for Melibea to marry. The entire image is identical to the one found on page 264 of the text.
