Renaissance Self-fashioning in DQ
Can any of you DQ specialists help me out with some examples of self-fashioning in DQ? I'm thinking of a line or two, which I can't find since I don't work with the text like some of ya'll, that goes something like "we know who we are but not who we want to be or become." It's very similar to Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Search completed: "Yo sé quién soy...y sé que puedo ser, no solo los que he dicho, sino todos los doce Pares de Francia . . ." (I,V)
Any others? I'm sure the text is full of them.
Dave, sorry I can't help out with this topic, at it is one I have never really pursued. Barbara Fuchs' book might help:
