3. My first impressions of Celestina is that she's a cunning woman who finds ways to get what she wants through persuasion. She immediately wants to get as much money out of calisto as she can knowing his situation. Parmeno also knows she has a bad reputation and describes how everything she does is through lies and mockery. Celestina hears this and upon recognizing Parmeno uses their past against them. Parmeno wants to be loyal as a servant, but Celestina was like a mother to him for quite some time. She also uses her age as a scapegoat for having wisdom and that Parmeno is still too young to understand the world around him.
1. I think the setting took place in a garden because a garden is usually a romantic place. Here we have a man confessing to a woman his love in a garden which is a beautiful setting. The only problem is it doesn't turn out good for Calisto. Melibea rejects his love since he does it out in the open and puts her above a seat in heaven.
