[Act VIII – Sempronio, Calisto, and Pármeno Talking]
-
Description
-
After spending the night with Areusa, Pármeno (rightmost figure) wakes to find that it is already noon. Areusa asks him to stay and talk, but he explains that his master Calisto will already be upset with his lateness. He proposes that they have dinner with Celestina, Elicia, and Sempronio that night, and she happily agrees. When he returns to Calisto’s house, he is met by Sempronio (leftmost figure), who chides him for his lateness. Pármeno explains his new love for Areusa, and Sempronio immediately infers that Pármeno is now working to scam Calisto with him and Celestina. They decide to check on Calisto (central figure) in his bedroom, and they find him in a state of despondency, talking to himself in verse. When he regains a semblance of sanity, he tells them that he is going to Saint Mary Magdalene’s Church to pray for a remedy to his situation.
