http://www.online-literature.com/cervantes/don_quixote/14/ From the moment Sancho decided to tag along on Don Quixote’s adventures, anyone could have assumed that Sancho was on the same level of crazy as Don Quixote because Sancho really thought he was going to gain an island by following Don Quixote as a squire. Sancho is a very patient character because he […]
“‘Your grace might be,’ said Sancho, ‘a better preacher than a knight-errant.’” (Chapter 18) This quote, said by Sancho Panza, can bring up several different ideas to the mind. With don Quixote more devoted to religion than to the books of chivalry, he most likely would be a different kind of character, right? In my […]
Based on the chapter readings we covered, the giddy middle-aged man, Don Quijote de la Mancha, truly embodies the qualities of a well-devoted knight. The dedication of reading chivalry books has paid off and he has taken a great portion towards applying it in life. For being recognized as a stellar and influential literature from the Spanish […]

The fine line between chivalry and misogyny truly starts with his abject failure to gather Aldonza Lorenzo’s consent to do violence in her name. Not only does don Quixote commit villainous acts in her name, he also […]
Who abandons his wife, children and home to follow a potential mad man who is attempting to live the ultimate life of chivalry? Who does that and why? Sancho Panza is Don Quixote’s neighbor whom he convinces to become his squire with the promise of a governorship. Sancho Panza is not deluded by Don Quixote’s […]
Just amazing. That’s all I really have to say about the book Don Quixote de La Mancha by Miguel Cervantes. Although I have only read the first 8 chapters, it’s really got me hooked!Personally I have never been a fan of reading books assigned by my schools however this book just has a different vibe to it.

As I continue to read Don Quixote de La Mancha , I am continually amazed at the underlying ideas and themes that seem to be fairly screaming out of the pages. Amid this witty text, Miguel de Cervantes uses Don Quixote as a vessel to express his distaste for the current world in which he lives. […]
Cervantes repeatedly demonstrates the issues that can arise through the romanticism of reality. For instance in Chapter Twelve, Chrysostom’s fate seems to foreshadow the possible consequences of Don Quixote’s unusual endeavors. One evening Don Quixote is described as spending “the rest of the night in thinking of his lady Dulcinea, in imitation of the lovers of […]
While reading Don Quixote, I often think back to a memory of when I was a little boy and saw a butterfly struggling to get out of his cocoon. I was about to help when my parents stopped me and told me that I was going to hurt the butterfly because he needed to struggle […]
DQ Reflection From the class discussions, each one of us took the liberty in sharing our thoughts. We focused on whether or not Don Quijote de la Mancha was proven a hero or a menace causing a disturbance in town. Based on the first chapters we covered, Don Quijote himself can be portrayed as […]
