Re: Don Quixote: Hero or Crazy?
"XavierAlex"XavierAlex wrote:Cervantes has Quixote on his deathbed repent and realize that all he was doing was foolish, yet Sancho Panza and, I think, the doctor, among others wish he stayed the foolish knight idealizing, romanticizing. I was always intrigued and never understood this ending, but according to this thread, it would seem to me that it stands for something or represents something?"quote
" What is this scene? Is it the desires of everyone that harsh reality shouldn't come crashing down? Is it that this Quixotic view parallels the ideal world and a religious view?
Spot on, I often feel like I am talking to Don Quixote whenever the topic of religion comes up with my religious friends-- and I sometimes wonder how on earth do they survive in the real world, to my amazement, fine.--lol!!
