| Summary: | Our object of study —from a historical standpoint, sociological, symbolic, psychological and literary— is one of the most fantastic female characters and enigmatic late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries: Areúsa, one of the prostitutes of La Celestina and above all a symbol of what women represent for a part of society. We try to dissect Areúsa and see which model symbolizes women for the society of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, from the analysis of its characterization as a literary character. |
