Act 12:
Celestina gets what she deserves. Celestina tricks backlashed on her and she should have known something bad was bound to happen especially if she wasn’t holding up her part of the deal. The servants were acting in greed because the only reason they murder her was because she didn’t share her earnings with them. But if Celestina is known for her tricky and conniving ways the servants should have known she was lying when she said she would share. Celestina kind of gave hints that she wants going to share her earnings and I think the servants were being naïve and holding her words at for what they were. I don’t sympathize because all of them should know by their better judgment not to trust each other. Ultimately they are all each other enemy and they are all liars, and there is really no one to sympathize for.
Act 13/14:
Calisto seems to be grieving more because of his reputation and what might have been said about him rather than because Pármeno, Sempronio, and Celestina death. At first it seems that he is grieving because he is sad they are gone, but then he starts to say what will become of him, how have they tarnished his name. By the end of chapter 14 it is apparent that Calisto is all about self-image and as far as he is concerned he wasn’t around and was out of town. At this point Calisto is only concerned about himself and his love Melibea.
