ABSTRACT:
This is a 5 page paper analyzing the character of Don Quixote including his relationship with Sancho Panza. When Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra wrote “The Adventures of Don Quixote” in 1604 and 1616, he did not have much compassion for his central character’s “impossible dreams”. Despite this however, Cervantes wrote the character of Don Quixote as a combination of a man who was compassionate, chivalrous, independent, pure, true in his friendships and trustworthy while at the same time as being a dreamer, obsessive, imaginative, unrealistic and insane. In his relationships with those around him, especially with his companion Sancho Panza, the reader can tell that Quixote has always been respected and well liked because of the care and respect his friends have for him in their attempt to prevent him from harming himself. Sancho allows for Quixote to live with his dreams originally based on promises made to him by Quixote but eventually in Sancho enjoying in the adventures himself. Overall, the character of Quixote is admired and well liked by the readers who not only enjoy reading of his adventures but realize that he is a man of ideals and high morals during a time when not many men were described as such.
