Celestina one

1) I believe that the garden can symbolize growth and a sort of purity at the moment. The garden may even have a biblical reference, like the garden of Eden. The growth may be of the two lovers later on in the book. Calisto talks of unlawful love and how he feels about her, she in turn throws him away saying no one shall speak to her in that manner. I feel that we can not see her words as genuine and that she may in fact be flattered by the entire episode.
2) Calisto has fallen sick becuase of the spell Melibea has put him under with his beauty. When he returns home he is so distraught by the torture she has put him through that he tells his servent Sempronio he is ill. I feel that the whole conversation is over exaggerated and played out. He loves a woman he has just met, and even remarks that he is not a Christian but a "Melibean", that he infact loves and worships her and that he "believes in Melibea". They discuss woman in general and Sempronio has a bleak outlook on them while Calisto sees them as marvelous creatures, and finally that Melibea is "beyond compare my better". He is not uses his head and over reacts to his infatuationt.
