Abstract


In Don Quijote, Don Juan y La Celestina, Maeztu underwent an in-depth analysis of the psychological characteristics of Spaniards —under the Generation of 98's bias. In addition to suggesting that Maeztu's viewpoint analogises those of Unamuno and Ganivet, this article seeks to prove that the author believed these three Spanish master pieces contain and comprise in their personae the characteristics of Spaniards as a people: Don Quixote —compared to Hamlet— portrays irrational thinking, and the saddening reality of Spanish society; Don Juan, in his ruthless demeanour, is the exemplar cannon for his country-mates; Celestinas behaviour conveys the Renaissance penchant for material richness, and Calisto and Melibea are representative of the Spanish spoilt youth.
