Celestina’s coarse humour and ironic commentary, however, undercut the tragic potential of the situation the vivid depiction of her character overshadows the philosophical significance of the work in its theme of the vanity of the human struggle against the forces of fate.La Celestina: Tragicomedy of Calisto and MelibeaĪ play set in Spain at the end of the fifteenth century published in Spanish (as Tragi-comedia de Calisto y Melibea) in 1499 in English (as The Spanish Bawd) in 1631. Calisto is killed in a fall from the ladder to Melibea’s window Melibea commits suicide. Celestina’s deeply explored personality dominates the plot, ostensibly tragic, of the uncontrolled passion of the lovers, which ends in disaster after its consummation. Originally published in 16 acts as the Comedia de Calisto y Melibea (1499 “Comedy of Calisto and Melibea”) and shortly thereafter in an expanded version with 21 acts as the Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea (1502), the work has been popularly known since its publication as La Celestina after its chief character, the bawd who serves as the go-between for the young lovers Calisto and Melibea. La Celestina, Spanish dialogue novel, generally considered the first masterpiece of Spanish prose and the greatest and most influential work of the early Renaissance in Spain.
