Abstract
This article analyzes La Celestina from the perspective of the art of memory. Due to the characterization of Celestina as a bee and the comparison of the lovers as flowers, it is possible to read the text in terms of an analogy that was widely used to describe intellective processes. This analogy compares the process to produce honey to the process that produces discourse. By masterly using language, Celestina manipulates the rest of the characters, but her lack of prudence will lead to her death. This article intends to broaden our understanding of the work by exploring one of the traditions it evokes
