La conciencia de Melibea

Abstract

In this paper I analize how Melibea is characterized coherently by her conciousness, her deep knowledge of herself and of the place where she lives, according to  the  different  perspectives and theories that have approached this character previously. Her behaviour can be easily understood according to her engagement with the public and private spheres of society, and the role that she has to play between them in order to live her love without public consequences, something that is not achieved because of Calisto’s death in her own home.
