Act 12: I liked Celestina and so I thought it was just that Parmeno and Sempronio died after killing her. They killed her out of greed really, they had no real reason. They knew who they were dealing with when they asked for the assistance of Celestina and it's their own fault that she was more witty than they were. It was just her misfortune that she didn't consider the possible danger that she put herself in when she decided to trick the boys and thinking that they would not take revenge or try to take the money by force. I don't think you can really sympathize with Sempronio or what to as he is very cocky and thinks really only of what he is going to gain and is arrogant, thinking himself more intelligent and above others. Parmeno didn't really like Celestina, in a way he was Celestina but for me he didn't really evoke like or dislike for him as a character.
Act 13/14: Calisto was more concerned with people finding out the dealings he had with Celestina and what his plans were, what his intentions were with Malibea more than being sad about the fact that his servants both died or that Celestina died. His main concern was himself and that his plans didn't fall through. He grieves because he does not want to lose his chance with Malibea. I don't think that he's grieving or ever was, he was just trying to save his own skin.
