[edit] Picasso
Could you please add a link to Picasso who painted "la celestina", which is considered as the apogee of is blue period?
I noticed that there is a lot more information on the page in Spanish regarding this play than the page in English, so I've begun adding some of that info to expand this page.
[edit] English version is a first draft translation / Check out the Spanish
The subject line says it all. The English version is short and appears to be either written by someone who is not a native English speaker or by a native English speaker whose translation from the Spanish is "demasiado servil" (sorry, I can't make the accents work in this software). Check out the Spanish version. My German is not good enough to make comments on that version. If I have time later I will come back and try to improve this. Overall, this is a good introductory summary, but the Spanish is better.
[edit] Summary is poor
As someone who has recently been studying the text, I can't say for sure if any of the statements in the summary are inaccurate (about the gold chain, etc) but they certainly miss some of the complexities. Clearly a draft and I may try to come back and check through it later, when I have a copy with me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.26.69.247 (talk) 15:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Figaro or Pandarus?
Chaucer's Pandarus is the origin of the English word "pander" and thus in English literature at least is both older and more widely influential than "Figaro" - Did Figaro originate as a character earlier than the 18th century? If not I would propose that Pandarus is a better male equivalent to Celestina than Figaro is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.28.233 (talk) 04:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
