Throughout the novel, I admired Don Quixote’s steadfast focus on the goal of achieving knight-errantry and his pursuit of a life of adventure and service. Towards the […]
In chapters thirty-six through forty-five of volume two in Don Quixote, there have been a couple of scenes that have caught my attention.

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 […]

Don Quixote desperately tries to change his identity at the age of fifty. He teeters on the edge of insanity and fearless adventurer. His identity evolves as he […]
