A garden, as opposed to any other formal structure, is meant to be untouched, for the most part, and to grow on for some time. Those who desecrate or mess with a garden are often scolded for "destroying it's beauty." A garden may signify the innocence of a person, primarily, the innocence of a woman, as women are said to be wholly pure before their virginity is taken, or before they are given away by the father on the day of their wedding. As opposed to Melibea, Calisto longs to be with a woman, mainly her, while Melibea, much like a gardener, tries everything to stop Calisto from pursuing her, like a gardener would stop the average vandal from destroying their garden. These words cannot be seen as wholly true. All in all, this parallels the Garden of Eden, as Eve tricked Adam into biting the apple that would ultimately lead to their demise.
Celestina is a woman of many traits. First and foremost, she is labeled by many of her peers as a promiscuous woman and influence towards the community, thus effectively causing her to be shunned. Despite this, Celestina stills lives a happy life, disregarding the fact. As stupid as it may be, she satisfies herself in whatever way possible whenever she wants, knowing the consequences of her actions, yet carrying out the actions anyway.
