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 […]
Throughout the last chapters we had to read and even before that, I noticed how incompetent Don Quixote and Sancho really were. There are almost two many instances to mention that provide great examples of this and support my claim. Even though Don Quixote and Sancho were not the smartest to begin with, the introduction […]
Throughout the readings for this week, one of the main topics raised in class was the fact that the Duke and the Duchess kept tricking and making fun of Don Quixote and Sancho. There were many instantness in the readings where Don Quixote and Sancho would be left in an unfortuanate circumstance while the Duke […]
We have reached to the second volume, indicating the midpoint of Don Quijote’s expedition. I noticed that drama is often being expressed. Cervantes unfolds various examples of drama. For instance, in Chapter 17, Don Quijote encounters a mule driver carrying two heavy beasts. It was a foolhardy move, but the chivalric knight wanted to challenge […]
Don Quixote is a changed man in the second part of the story. He is wiser, less crazy, and more compassionate toward those he meets. The incident with the lions exemplifies this change in his nature. He doesn’t attack the mule driver for contradicting him and he doesn’t insist on agitating the lion. The Don […]
From the reading of chapters seventeen through twenty-five of part two, I conclude than Don Quixote has changed. From the lion incident to his talk of poetry with Don Lorenzo, I believe Don Quixote would have reacted very differently if those scenes were to happen in part one. The Don Quixote that we knew in […]
These few chapters I read about were really just full of drama. To begin with in chapter 17, there was a scene where don Quixote tried to get in battle with a lion! Although I am still in shock into why anyone would ever want to fight a lion, Don Quixote still came out alive. […]
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 […]
