Day four Celestina (12-17)

1) There are many complex feelings that I would expect someone in Calisto's position to be feeling. He just lost his two best servants, took his lovers virginity, and still has to contend with his own issues. He desires much that is reflected in his soliloquy as well, he desires longer nights with Melibea and revenge for what he considers the murder of his two companions. In about the middle of the soliloquy Calisto ties together his two ramblings about the murder of his companions and his love with Melibea. "Remember that the absent are never in the right, here both parties before you pronounce the sentence." (act 4 page 200) When taken out of context Calisto may arguably be talking about both main issues in one line, both the murderers and the prosecution pronounce the violant truth just as both Calisto and Melibea vocalize there specific crime.
