Celestina part 1

1.  The first act takes place in a garden because a garden is generally used for a peaceful setting and a romantic setting.  Calisto uses this setting so that when he tells Melibea about how he loves her it will seem more romantic.  However Melibea is appalled and says that no man can talk to her like that.  Calisto makes it seem that he already has Melibea, and says that she is his reward, making it seem that Calisto and Melibea will already be together.  Melibea takes offense to this saying she is no ones awards, however it could be possible that she is a little flattered by his words.

4.  Celistina is a very interesting character.  She is old, has some money, and has been with a lot of people.  She has a whore house and is the lead woman in the whore house.  However she also still retains her religion seeing as how she goes to church often.  Also everyone in the town seems to know who she is showing that the whole town might go to her whore house.  Also she seems to be rather wise, seeing as how she has been with so many people.
