Act XI Summary

Celestina, leaving Melibea’s house, spots Pármeno and Sempronio on their way to find Calisto. Sempronio informs Calisto that people are gossiping about Calisto “kissing the feet of all the saints” (153) in church. Celestina appears and Calisto is ecstatic to see her. They leave the church, and Celestina tells Calisto that Melibea now “belongs to [him] more than she does to herself” (154). Sempronio urges Calisto to offer Celestina a reward, and he gives her a “little chain” (154). Pármeno makes a snide remark and argues with Sempronio. Celestina points out that although the chain is expensive for her, it is very small in comparison to Calisto’s fortune. She reiterates that Melibea is now passionately in love with him. Calisto admits that if this is true, Celestina deserves much more.

Sempronio and Pármeno are suspicious of Melibea’s sudden change of heart—Pármeno worries that Melibea is fooling them and this will all end badly for all of them. Offended, Calisto insists that Melibea is an angel incapable of such deception. Celestina agrees, and hurries out. Pármeno laughs at Celestina’s rush, knowing that she wants to get away with the chain.
