How Does La Celestina End?

The work ends with Pleberio's lament on the desolation of life, which he must now face alone. In the expanded and final 21-act version, Calisto and Melibea continue meeting secretly for a month. The death of Sempronio and Pármeno, however, has angered their lovers, Areúsa and her companion Elicia.

Who kills Celestina?

Celestina herself is murdered by Calisto's two servants, Sempronio and Pármeno, because her avarice blinds her for once to what is going on in the minds of others. Sempronio and Pármeno are hastily put to death for the murder. Calisto falls to his death when leaving his assignation with Melibea.

Who is Calisto in love with?

Calisto. A young nobleman who falls madly in love with Melibea. He is shown to be quite egotistical and full of passion as the entire first act is about his love for her. Even going as far as to 'create a new religion' worshiping her (Act 1 pg 92-93).
