We finished reading the adaptation of Don Quijote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra. We were able to distinguish a man of high principles who was out of his time and who lost touch with reality. This is seen in the well-known scene where Don Quijote goes to fight giants in honor of his lady Dulcinea. The words of his friend Sancho Panza fall on deaf ears because nothing was going to stop him from fighting the horrible giants that were “destroying” the land. When he was thrown back by the blades of the windmills and got hurt, his friend Sancho told him: “You see, I told you they were windmills.” To which Don Quijote replied that a magician had changed them. The real world around him saw a crazy man, while he saw himself as a hero, an errant knight.
