1. I believe this quote shows the way men percieve a relationship should be. Men are very selfish creatures and thus they want what they idealize the moment they think of it. Women tend to take the time to think things out, even to the point of over analyzation, but men pefer to act and deal with the consequences. This reference, which fits Calisto's character, suggests that men follow their first thoughts. When they see a beautiful woman, they immediately want to pursue them. I believe this quote is true because men are strictly doers. For example. when women get into a fight they are petty and hold grudges, while men punch each other and are friends again within ten minutes. The same concept rings true with love, especially swince girls are very keen with reputation thus making them less spur the moment. Men just go with things, and that is what makes this quote true.
2. I think this quote is saying that the upper class has a harder life. This quote is quite funny, because Celestina is considered the lowest of low class. She works several jobs, one of which is running a brothel, and yet the quote suggests that life is easier for her than everyone else. I Although it may seem strange, I would have to believe this. I say this because the people who love Celestina and consider her a friend, love her for her. They know evertything about Celestina, from her exile from town to her unruly job, and yet decide to friends with her. This shows how pure the friendship between the two individuals are. However, if an individual is rich, the motives behind the friendship become blurred. One can never tell is the person is being geuine or if they are trying to their money or connections. The class separation is also shown later on in Act 4, when Melibea's mother did not know who Celestina was. This shows how uncouncious the upper class is of the lower class.
