1. The way Calisto was talking it felt that he was so upset about Sempronio and Parmeno that his love for Melibea came second. All the love he said he had for her just ended up being lust and the desire to sleep with her. He embraces her and starts unclothing her and she doesn't really enjoy it. He then responds saying "Mistress, i have risked my life to earn this favor. What sense would there be in rejecting it now. He took complete advantage of her claiming he couldn't hold back his desire and he couldn't go through his suffering. Once he had what he wanted he was like a predator catching its prey.
The quote i picked was Melibea saying " Ive planned my death so well! How comforted to think that my beloved Calisto and I shall soon be united!" This quote shows just how much love is more true and non artificial for women than men. She commits suicide over someone who acted like he really loved her just to take advantage over her. No matter how hard to get she played her love ran deep for Calisto while he was just looking for a one night affair. A good portion of this book was setting up Calisto and Melibea togethor just for it to end in tragedy.
