Remebering Several Quixotes
How will I remember Don Quixote from this semester? For me, as time progressed throughout the course, I had a constantly changing opinion of Don Quixote and who he was. Sometimes he came across as a total crazy person to me. Other times I felt that he was someone I should feel pity for, as […]
Sancho FanPost
Oxford dictionary defines leadership as, “The action of leading a group of people or an organization.” The key word that stands out to me in this definition is ACTION. Leaders are distinguished by the actions that they perform throughout their stay in power. Whatever those actions may be, negative or positive, they are what will […]
Symbolism and Changing Characters
I found this week very interesting in both character changes and symbolism. This blog post will attempt to explain the connection between Homer’s trojan horse in the Iliad and the horse that Don Quixote and Sancho Panza ‘ride on the their quest’, as well as examine the change in Don Quixote and Sancho’s characters’ development. […]
Did Sancho Catch the Madness?
A question I have been asking myself while reading the chapters this week is, “If you are around a mad person for long enough, do you become mad?”. Throughout the novel I have noticed an increasing similarity between Don Quixote and Sancho. Sancho seems to be becoming more and more like the ‘mad’ Don Quixote, […]
Is Don Quixote Part A Mean Man
As I have continued to read part two of Don Quixote de La Mancha, I have begun to see some new character traits in Don Quixote that I am not so sure I like at all. Yes, we all know that his character is somewhat crazy, but does that atone for his sometimes quite horrible […]

The episode we were trying to depict with our tool is Don Quixote’s trip to the cave of Montesino .Since we were not able to download or embed the timeline without buying or […]
Part two character development and sneak...
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. The character I find most intriguing in part two is Sancho’s wife, Teresa/Juana. We see her transform from an almost completely silent figure to an active participant […]
Cervantes and ‘Fixed Positions’
One chapter in Don Quixote that has readily grabbed my attention is the very last one before the end of part one; chapter fifty- two. The scene where Sancho throws himself over Don Quixote’s limp after the former has just received a most severe beating. To me, this is the perfect stopping point before part […]
Finding Importance – Quality NOT Author
Suppose an individual wrote a replica of a famous author’s book and that replica is artistically and literarily finer than the original. Despite the attributes of the latter, this ‘replica’ would be deemed a fake, a copy, basically plagiarism. Now suppose an individual reading these two books has no knowledge of the different authorship. The […]
