His contemporaries, however, come to a different conclusion: For them, Don Quixote has turned from lunatic into a hero who tirelessly fought to make this world a better place.

Answer: Don Quixote liked to read books about courageous knights and their unbelievable adventures. Cervantes and Golden Age Spanish literature in general did not have that sense of aesthetics, the meat was somewhere else.
Taking into account that Spanish has barely changed and it was never the aim to sound like Shakespeare wrote, Don Quixote is not a difficult read. Don Quixote is considered by literary historians to be one of the most important books of all time, and it is often cited as the first modern novel.
The character of Quixote became an archetype, and the word quixotic, used to mean the impractical pursuit of idealistic goals, entered common usage.
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes It was a whopping great book, but I read it slowly, bit by bit, and found it quite enjoyable. Second on the list published in is the Xinhua Zidian, the new Chinese Dictionary, with million copies sold. Having said that. For starters, the only reason Sancho goes with Don Quixote in the first place is because the Don has promised him "that it was likely such an adventure […] might secure him the conquest of some island […] and then the squire might promise himself to be made governor of the place" 1.
Beside above, how does Sancho Panza change? Sancho Panza Character Analysis Sancho is a peasant who lives in Quixote's village, and he is Quixote's faithful squire. Sancho's transformation over the course of the two parts of the history is an astonishing one. He is illiterate and ignorant, and he finds Quixote's ideas mystifying and irrelevant. He observes and thinks about Don Quixote , enabling us to judge Don Quixote. Sancho humanizes the story, bringing dignity and poise, but also humor and compassion.
Through Sancho , Cervantes critiques the ill-conceived equation of class and worth. They don't have any lines, but apart from Don Quixote and Sancho, the horse Rocinante and the donkey Dapple are the only other characters who are present during all of the book's adventures. Rocinante isn't the actual name of Don Quixote's horse. Don Quixote renames his horse just as he renames Aldonza. Answer and Explanation: In Don Quixote , Sancho Panza agrees to become Don Quixote's squire in exchange for the latter's promise of giving him a governorship of an island.
What is so special about Don Quixote and Sancho Panza? Don Quixote is a character who has read so many books on chivalry until he imagines that he is indeed a knight-errant.
He is determined to solve problems in the world, but he often makes things worse. He has a neighbor who becomes his squire or personal attendant. Sancho Panza is a neighbor of Don Quixote. Is Sancho Panza crazy? Even Sancho Panza, who knows him very well, considers him as a crazy poor mano Bachelors, priests, noblemen and Dukes, shepherds and goatherds, members of the Santa Hermandad, innkeepers and pigmen recognise Don Quixote's insanity as soon as they met him, with his strange and sad figure.
What did Don Quixote think the windmills were? He doesn't know it's just a joke. For all we've said about Sancho Panza's loyalty to Don Quixote, we don't want you to start thinking that this guy is some kind of simple-minded saint. Sancho follows Don Quixote around for one reason: to get something out of it. He knows Don Quixote is weird and eccentric, but he also knows that this is one loaded geezer.
That's what Sancho P. For starters, the only reason Sancho goes with Don Quixote in the first place is because the Don has promised him "that it was likely such an adventure […] might secure him the conquest of some island […] and then the squire might promise himself to be made governor of the place" 1. And let's not forget that Sancho Panza totally leaves his wife and kids for months at a time to follow Don Quixote on the road. Sorry to say, but the dude can be pretty selfish.
On top of his opportunism, Sancho has no trouble bending the truth to suit his ends. For example, he outright lies about finding Cardenio's wallet in Part 1 of the book, saying, "I saw the portmanteau too, do you see, but the Devil a bit would I come within a stone's throw of it" 1.
Old Sancho just wants to keep the gold inside for himself—and that's exactly what he does. He totally spends all the gold before anyone can think to ask what happened to the wallet. Add to this dishonesty all the money that Sancho swindles out of Don Quixote by fake whipping himself, and you've got yourself some selfishness to go along with Sancho's loyalty.
Let's be real: Sancho comes across as kind of vacant for a lot of this book. A big part of that you can pin on the narrator himself, whose first comment about Sancho is "for he was poor indeed, poor in purse, and poor in brains" 1. But as the novel continues, especially in Part 2, we discover that this isn't necessarily the case. When Sancho becomes the governor of the fake island of Barataria, all of the servants on that island expect him to be a bumbling idiot.
And he is, in some ways.
