Celestina - Day Two

Questions from Devon and Bernie:

Chapter 3 Question 1.

"You expect a man in love to champ at the bit. Any delay is
torture and every moment waiting a pain. They want to put
their thoughts into action and enjoy immediate results."
Analyze this quote. What is it saying about the way men deal
with romance? Do you think this quote speaks true?

Chapter 4, Question 2
"I think people describe life's merry go round as their
fortune finds it, for the rich sing a different tune."
What is the book saying about class separation, and how it
affects people's thoughts about life and how they live it?

In Act Five Celestina tells Sempronio that they will both
get rich off of their pan. Are Clelstina’s words to be
trusted? Is Sempronio foolish for trusting her? Or does it
seem that Celestina is tricking everyone for her own
personal gain?

In Act 6 Celestina speaks to Calisto of her encounter with
Melibea. Does she lie to him or does she fabricate the
truth? What is the meaning upon her giving Calisto the Cord?
