[Act IX – Celestina, Elicia, Sempronio, Areusa, and Pármeno Share a Meal]

Description
-
Celestina, Elicia, Sempronio, Areusa, and Pármeno (in clockwise order, starting from leftmost figure) are gathered around a table at Celestina’s house for dinner. While the two pairs of lovers dine, Celestina drinks her wine. Sempronio starts praising the beauty and virtue of Melibea, which enrages Elicia and causes her to become jealous. (She is standing with her back hunched over, and Sempronio has his left hand open, both of which signal an argument.) Celestina manages to calm her, and the two lovers reconcile. Lucrecia arrives shortly thereafter, and she tells Celestina that Melibea has asked to have her girdle returned. More importantly, Lucrecia informs Celestina that Melibea has an illness of the heart and has requested her presence.
