This article uses the ¿Curioso impertinente,¿ the story of Fernando and Dorotea, and the adventure of the wineskins to clarify basic questions about the concept of identity in Don Quixote, Part I. What really lies behind the words ¿Yo sé quien soy¿ and other formulae with which characters define themselves? There is a gap between characters¿ statements about their identity and their unconscious beliefs about it. The article shows how this fragmented text, full of subtextual contractions, resulted from the struggle between the feudal ideology of the nobility and the newly emerging mercantile literalness.
