1. At the end of Act III we see Celestina preparing her thread with a potion for Melibea. How do we see her lack of confidence? What do you make of this?
2. In Act IV how do we see Celestina’s fame precede her, both with Lucrecia and then with Melibea? Is this good or bad? Why?
3. How does Melibea’s reaction to Calisto’s name either strengthen or weaken your initial reaction to their first meeting?
4. How do we feel about Celestina in Acts V and VI? Is she smart and wise or a useless trickster? Use details from the text.
5. Calisto is blinded by his “love / desire.” What does this say about love / desire / sex in gneral? Use details from the text.

3.Melibea's reaction to Calisto's name strengthen my initial reaction because Melibea really can't stand Calisto. She wants nothing to do with him. I feel it is very funny how pissed off she gets when she even hears then name. She would probably kill him that's how much she can't stand him.
ReplyDelete5. Calisto is blinded by "love/desire" It has to say that love can distract people from anything. Love can either make your life or ruin it. It is shown in history, current events and novels. People have such a desire for something that they must have it and will even do crazy things just to get a taste of it.
