Description
-
As Celestina (left-central figure) travels home from Melibea’s house, she sees Sempronio (central figure) and Pármeno (right-central figure) on their way to visit Calisto (leftmost figure) at Saint Mary Magdalene’s church. Sempronio and Pármeno enter first, and Celestina enters as they begin talking with Calisto. She tells Calisto that she has good news, and the four of them go to Calisto’s house for more privacy. Celestina tells him that Melibea has revealed her love for him, and informs him that she has requested to meet at midnight. Overjoyed, Calisto praises Celestina for her work, but Sempronio and Pármeno express skepticism at Melibea’s dramatic change of heart. Calisto tells everyone he is going to take some rest before midnight arrives, and Celestina returns home, where she is greeted by Elicia (rightmost figure). [The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]
