A lovesick nobleman pays an old procuress to win a noblewoman he cannot approach, and her scheming drags in grasping servants until it ends in murder, a fatal fall, and the girl's suicide.

In this, Melibea, I see heaven's greatness and goodness.
Celestina Or The Tragic-Comedy Of Calisto And Melibea, Fernando de Rojas
