the 21st century post modernism and has provided the power for critical works by everyone from thackeray to ortegay gasset shakespeare paid cervantes his contemporary the rare compliment of using quixote as source material for one of his later plays cardenio the concept of the novel is simple alonso quijano a landowner from la mancha is attracted by the books about knights 骑士 driven mad by the special plots characters and philosophy in these 17th century novels quijano decides to bring dignity back to the lost profession of knight under the name don quixote he carries a sword a suit of armor 盔甲 and a horse and sets out into spain the first few scenes involve quixote alone against the world meeting various people but before a hundred pages cervantes introduced sancho panza quixote s talkative squire 侍从 in the endless discussions quixote s crazy conception of the world is brought crashing to earth by sancho s practical ideas the reader faces at the same moment an ideal view of the world and the cruel facts of the actual world quixote s insistence on his own reality in the face of arguments to the contrary makes him an interesting character because we know that quixote is just wrong yet despite all of the pain he suffers in pursuit of that wrong he continues to believe that he s right so we read on page after page waiting to see how much more the man who considers himself a knight is able to take before he gives in just as quixote builds his castles from criminal campfires we build our understanding of cervantes spain which was so cruelly real and so dream like we like
