In the novel Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes, Sancho seems to be the balance between sane and insane and often offers insight on the situations Don Quixote gets himself into. Sancho over time however becomes increasingly delirious and ends up becoming a wee bit crazy himself. Honestly, Don Quixote wouldn’t be half the novel […]

Sancho Panza, the trusted squire of the noble knight, don Quixote de La Mancha. “Trusted”? Am I sure I want to use the word “trusted”? Sure there were times when Sancho followed through and did what his master wanted, but not often enough to be given the honor of being described as “trusted”. There have […]

Sancho serves as Don Quixote’s support system in the novel, he is the person who, although he realizes the insanity of Quixote’s actions, still always stands up for him and protects him.  When no one else is there for him Sancho is.  Throughout the novel Sancho slowly accepts the lack of reality Quixote has, he […]

He kind of tempers Don Quixote’s sanity by trying to bring him back to reality especially when he is about to do something way out of the ordinary. However it works inversely as well. […]

At last, our critical review paper writing and presentations have come to a bittersweet ending. On the one hand, I found what the numerous critics in other people’s projects had to say quite interesting. Then again, its pretty nice to have another task entirely completed and checked off my list. However, I feel as though […]

Sancho: he is the one character I can kind of see being a semiprotagonist (that isn’t a word, but I’m hoping it’s understandable): he isn’t quite the main character in the story, but no matter what Don Quixote does, he is right behind him through thick and thin. His importance is to almost be his […]
