Everything is ready, and the fantasy comes true. One morning, wearing armor and holding a shield, he rode his bony old horse and left home to do his errand.
Don Quixote has run three times.
The first time he went alone, he wanted to save the child who was tied to a tree and beaten by the landlord. He ordered the landlord to untie the children and pay them all the money. The landlord was scared to do it one by one. But after he left, the landlord tied the child back to the tree and gave him a good beating. Later, he met a businessman who wanted him to admit that his prince charming was a peerless beauty. The businessman didn't buy it, so they got into a fight. As a result, he was killed and came home, covered in injuries, unable to climb up, and was sent home by a passing neighbor riding on the back of a donkey.
His family and friends were very sad. He was so poisoned by knight novels that he burned all his accumulated knight novels in one room. But Don Quixote still stubbornly believes that "the most urgent need in the world is the knight errant, and the revival of the knight errant road depends on him alone." He secretly persuaded his honest neighbor, Sancho Panza, to take risks with him as a follower, on the condition that one day he would become the governor of the island.
When they came to the countryside, they saw thirty or forty windmills in the distance. Don Quixote said to his neighbor, "There are more than 30 extraordinarily big giants over there. I want to fight them and kill them. We will get a trophy and become rich. " Neighbors repeatedly explained that it was a windmill, not a giant. Instead of listening, he accused his neighbor of cowardice. He rushed to the windmill with a pike in his hand, but the windmill threw him out, and Don Quixote rolled to the ground, flustered. After doing a series of crazy stupid things together, they were locked in cages, loaded with ox carts and taken home.
For the third time, Don Quixote heard that Zaragoza was going to hold a tournament, and set foot on the journey again despite his family's dissuasion. This time, they did all the stupid things without results, and also did some good things to punish bullies and make them lovers. On the way, they met the duke and his wife who made fun of them. The duke sent Sancho to a small town under his command as the governor of "Island". Although Sancho managed the small town "Island" in good order, the two of them were almost killed by the cruel tricks of the Duke.
None of these things he did was a failure, and none was laughed at by the real society, but he didn't realize it and went his own way. In the illusion, he took the windmill of the mill as a minister and rushed at it with a gun and flattery, but was beaten out of the water by the fan blades and could not move for a long time. He treats poor hotels as magic castles, prostitutes as ladies and is ridiculed by others. He regarded the barber's copper basin as the magician's helmet, and the leather wine bag as the giant's head. In desperation, he killed it with a spear. He treated the sheep as a magician's army and slaughtered them on horseback. He inexplicably killed the soldiers who escorted the prisoners and released the prisoners, but they tortured him and caused countless ridiculous things.
What he did not only hurt others, but also often led to his head broken and black and blue. In a series of adventures, he had his teeth knocked out, his fingers cut off, his ears lost and his ribs broken, but he remained tenacious until he almost died before being sent home by his relatives and friends. Before he died, he woke up and forbidden his only relative and niece to marry someone who had read knight novels, otherwise she would be deprived of her inheritance.
Don Quixote: Indulging in fantasy, divorced from reality, but pursuing a lofty principle (eliminating the strong, helping the weak and upholding justice) with good motives, acting absurdly and recklessly, but showing the spirit of sacrifice to safeguard the truth, he is a tragic comedy character.
Don Quixote is the hero in Cervantes' Don Quixote. He is a complicated and contradictory figure.
1. On the one hand, he is addicted to fantasy and everything is subjective. Behavior is absurd and reckless, and you will not learn from it. Imagine the windmill as a giant, who fell to the ground by the windmill and said that he was cheated by a magician.
On the other hand, the starting point of his actions also has a noble side, that is, the pursuit of a lofty principle. He wants to be a chivalrous man, to fight against the strong and help the weak, to uphold justice, to be selfless for this, and to have the spirit of self-sacrifice.
Subjectively, he pursues and maintains the truth, but he pursues "chivalry" which is divorced from reality and has long been out of date, so he is doomed to hit a wall and harm others. He is ridiculous, pathetic, amiable and respectable. In him, comedy and tragedy are wonderfully combined and become a unique artistic image in the history of literature.
