This volume started off a bit different than the first did. To begin with Cervantes begins the prolog in the 2nd volume with claiming that he doesn’t want to trash talk the guy who tried to rip him off… yet he kind of does. The fact that someone tried to write the second part of […]
https://camillesourget.com/en-8896-cervantes-el-ingenioso-hidalgo-don-quixote–a-superb-and-very-pure-.html Fifteen years after Don Quixote returns home and puts down the ole rusty, dusty sword, he’s finally back at it. At this point in actual time a new author has written a fake second part to Don Quixote’s story, which Cervantes acknowledges in his real second part to Don Quixote de La Mancha. Everyone […]
The beginning of volume two starts off with a different atmosphere. The story picks up where it left off with Don Quixote at home, but he is not the same Don Quixote de la Mancha from the first volume or is he? In the beginning, Don Quixote is resting in bed conversing with the barber […]
In the Second Volume don Quixote encounters the Knight of the Forest, also known as the Knight of the Mirrors, who serves (ineffectively) as a reality check for don Quixote by physically reflecting Don Quixote’s delusional behavior back to him. Similar to don Quixote, the Knight of the Mirrors has his own squire, identical Sancho […]
I have really enjoyed delving into part two of the novel, Don Quixote de La Mancha, as well as looking at continued themes and the development of characters.

In other words, they are brand new characters hiding under the guises and names of characters from the first part. This is especially apparent when don Quixote doesn’t attack the theater actors […]
Many new characters were introduced in the beginning of part two. The introduction of these new characters to the novel did affect the story a little bit but as you read on in the second part, you can tell that Don Quixote has still not changed from his old self. Most things are the same […]
Kile McNair 10/19/17 Blog Post After starting volume two in of the novel there are obvious changes from the beginning. In chapter one of the novel Don Quixote was very confident in his speech of knighthood, it was hard for one to explain anything to Quixote. Now in the second part of the novel Quixote […]
Until our readings this week, a lot has happened in Don Quixote. Many characters have endured a lot especially Don Quixote and Sancho. It seemed so much happened that they haven’t had time to self-examine themselves. The readings this past week of Don Quixote have a lot to do with self-reflection. This is seen in […]
Don Quixote is a hoax of knights and chivalry. Anyone who has seen or heard of the Ingenious Gentleman knows that he is not a true knight; he has many different personalities and names, but a true knight? No, but a true heart he has. But what happens when the king of the imaginative, crazy, […]
