Too Far is Not Good

Don Quixote is a character full go pride and arrogance. Both of those qualities lead to him being a terrible listener. There are chances for things to go pretty well if he would just listen to others around him, but he doesn’t. He believes that he is right and doesn’t need anyone to explain anything […]
A Drama Unfolds
“The instant the storyteller mentioned don Fernando, Cardenio’s face changed color and he broke into a sweat with such agitation….But Cardenio only sweated and remained still, staring at the peasant girl, suspecting who she was.” (Chapter 28) In the recent chapters, a drama has been unfolding slowly. Cardenio found out about what really happened with […]
