Don Quixote	comment	These are the very first lines of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha ("El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha" in the original Spanish), often shortened to just Don Quixote. The novel was written by Spanish writer and satirist Miguel de Cervantes. Cervantes wrote the story in two parts, the first part published in 1605 and the second in 1615.The story is that of an old hidalgo named Alonso Quijano, who is so obsessed with chivalric novels that he's lost a few screws and decided that he is a vagrant knight. Quijano renames himself as "Don Quixote de La Mancha" and decides to win eternal fame through the besting of criminals and general upholding of the Chivalric Code. Unfortunately for a lot of innocent people, his delusions make him pick fights with innocent bystanders, some of whom do not fight back because Don Quixote is obviously crazy. Of course, there are also strangers who are not so sympathetic. After one delivers a brutal beating to Don Quixote, a neighbor from his village meets the wounded Don Quixote and takes him home, where his friends and family burn the cursed books of chivalry and claim that A Wizard Did It (literally) to try to cure him. However, he soon returns to his delusion and journey. This time he manages to convince a simple farm-hand, Sancho Panza, to become his squire and sidekick for the promise of a governorship in the future. They experience many adventures, including the famous one; where Don Quixote attacks some windmills thinking they are ferocious giants. note The band They Might Be Giants was named after the film They Might Be Giants, which paralleled Don Quixote with the main character's delusions that he is Sherlock Holmes. At the end of the book, Don Quixote's friends trick him by making him believe he is enchanted and take him back to his village.Throughout the novel, Don Quixote never doubts, even for a moment, that the fictional adventures that he has read are real and that he really is a knight errant. Not even the petitions of his loved ones, the continuous ridicule of his peers, or the brutal beatings he suffers make him break his resolution: Don Quixote always continues trying to impose his quixotic (literally; he's the word's origin) beliefs on the world.The first part of the novel was published in 1605, when stories of chivalry were pushing Condemned by History and Don Quixote's dreams of reviving chivalric ways were really a strange, misbegotten idea. However, Miguel de Cervantes had a clear distaste for them, in no small part because he was an ex-soldier who lost the mobility of his left arm in the Battle of Lepantonote Cervantes was famously nicknamed "The One-Armed of Lepanto", or "el Manco de Lepanto" and spent several years in prison. Having experienced the harshness of war, he found these romantic stories to be ridiculous and disconnected from reality. And out of such distaste, he decided to write this story to pick them apart and openly mock them.The novel became a popular success (although that success was nothing unheard of compared to other contemporary titles, and it certainly wasn't a hit with Spanish critics of the day), and was reprinted several times in the next decade, even being translated into French and English. But most notable was the change in Spanish popular culture. Within a few months of its printing, virtually all of Spain knew about Don Quixote's exploits: Memetic Mutations arose, chivalric romances became popular again, and even apocryphal "continuations" appeared. In the novel, Don Quixote mocks the tropes and cliches of these stories, yet leads an ironic revival of their traditions through his good nature and willingness to go challenge society's beliefs. Cervantes' story achieved the same thing in reality as in the story, while at the same time reinventing literature by creating the novel in its modern form.Cervantes had promised a sequel at the end of Volume I and had begun writing it when he caught word of a spurious fake sequel to Don Quixote, written by an unknown writer with the pseudonym Avellaneda as a cash grab. This caused him to denounce the book in his own pages (somewhat ironically, this is the main reason anyone even remembers the imitator at all today) and motivated him to put out Vol II, the hidalgo's final adventure. The second part has a more serious tone, taking advantage of the change brought about by the first part of the book in Real Life, where Don Quixote has evolved from a Lord Error-Prone to an honest (but still insane) man whose noble attitude and delusions makes him the Butt-Monkey of a lot of people. Don Quixote has to confront his delusions (but only in the very last chapter), and the harshness of reality makes him realize that his naÃ¯ve dreams were shallow, which brings him back to sanity before his death.Don Quixote has been adapted to every medium, including illustrations by Gustave DorÃ©. It's also been made into a couple of animated adaptations (one of them with Funny Animals) and even a Musical.Don Quijote is commonly cited in literary criticism as "the first modern novel", and is probably among the most influential books of all time (just take a look at The Other Wiki's list). It's also widely considered to be the best book ever written in the Spanish language, and nowadays almost every Spanish-speaking kid will have to read and study it in school at one point or another, similar to how every kid in the USA and UK must read and study Shakespeare (Cervantes' close contemporary).The star Mu Arae is now named for Cervantes, and the planets (in increasing order of distance) are Dulcinea, Rocinante, Quijote, and Sancho.Trope Namer for Windmill Crusader and The Dulcinea Effect.For a list of adaptations and works inspired by the novel, see here.

Don Quixote / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: Several layers of this, actually. Lampshaded, even: In the very first paragraph, Don Quixote's literary portrait has the narrator NOT telling us the name of Don Quixote's town, and the narrator admits he doesn't know very well if his name was Quixada, Quesada, or Quexana. For the people of the 17th century, this was an infringement of a very well-known rule of the literary portrait, and so they immediately had the real impression that the author was a liar. Also, the original author (Cide Hamete Benengeli) and the Translator (an anonymous Moor) comment the text when the plot is being implausible, and the second author (Cervantes), constantly reminds us that this is a true history. All these tricks show that Cervantes clearly want the reader to realize that this tale cannot be true. Not to mention the fact that the so-called original author has an Arabic name. At that time in Spain, Arabs were thought to be liars.

Don Quixote / int_1ba17583	comment	The Ghost: Played straight with Aldonza Lorenzo, a young peasant girl from a town called Toboso, who is blissfully unaware that Don Quixote's had a crush on her. She never appeared in neither parts of the novel, only was referred to by other characters. Parodied by Dulcinea del Toboso, the imaginary love interest of Don Quixote. Since the first part of the novel, Don Quixote imagines her as a beautiful noblewoman who lives in a castle, or in other words, a person completely different from Aldonza Lorenzo. This imaginary entity is a literal ghost, but it's mentioned so many times across the novel that she can be considered the third protagonist besides Don Quixote and Sancho. Besides, in the second part, one of the plot points is Don Quixote's quest to disenchant Dulcinea and to find her at last, even when he knows he imagined her, is another proof of Don Quixote's madness.

He stoically accepts her teasing and mean pranks because he believes she's in love with him, but he never attempts anything because he wants to be loyal to Dulcinea and is very happy when he abandons her and the palace. Being an honest man, he confesses to Sancho that Altisidoraâ€™s feelings caused him more confusion than pity, showing us how awkward and foolish would be this kind of relationship in reality.

Don Quixote / int_24cdd048	type	Arcadia
Don Quixote / int_24cdd048	comment	Arcadia: Don Quixote considers becoming a shepherd instead of a knight at the end. Foreshadowed by the Golden Age speech he gives to the shepherds in the book's beginning; pastoral tropes in general are very important in the novel for deconstruction and parody. The real shepherds are Country Mouse-ish ignorant people who have enough common sense and work as shepherds by need. They want to help and are sympathetic enough. The problem comes when a lot of City Mouse types try to invoke this trope: At the Sierra Morena, Don Quixote converses this trope with the goatherds at Chapter XXI, delivering an Author Filibuster, "Discourse on the Golden Age", comparing the goatherds with Noble Savages. None of them understand a word. One of the goatherds sings a song, but he didnâ€™t compose it (because he doesnâ€™t know how); it was his uncle who composed it, a cleric who has studied. In any Arcadia poem, one of the various shepherds complains about the shepherdess that ignores him. Marcela and Grisostomo deconstruct this at chapter XII â€“ XIV, where the Shepherdess Ice Queen claims she is So Beautiful, It's a Curse and so she had to be a shepherdess only to get her freedom, but all the city mice that courted her decided to be shepherds too. She states plainly that just because you are attracted to someone doesn't mean that you are entitled to that person's affections or that they are obligated to love you back, and if someone's rejection of your advances is so very torturous, then the onus is on you to get over them and move on, not to continue chasing after them when they've already made it clear that they want nothing to do with you. If you continue to do so, the only one who is being cruel to you is yourself, not the object of your affections for merely existing and asserting their basic right to not have to be with anyone they don't love. Thus, if GrisÃ³stomo killed himself, it is unjust to blame her. Deconstructed again at chapter LII from the first part, in which Eugenio tells the story of the beautiful Leandra, who elopes with a soldier that left her. Leandra gets Locked Away in a Monastery while her various City Mouse admirers decided to become shepherds and make poems about how Leandra betrayed them... even when she never gave them any hope. Eugenio tells that all those shepherds curse Leandraâ€™s indiscretion, and they seem so unhappy that he lampshades that Arcadia is really a living hell. Eugenio then says he has decided to follow the easier way, claim All Women Are Lustful and become a Politically Incorrect Hero who hates all women. Parodied in Chapter LVIII of the Second Part: Don Quixote meets some beautiful shepherdesses who are part of a crew of noble and rich people who invoke this trope by retiring to a forest to play at being shepherds and shepherdesses. They are so sophisticated that they have studied two poems from Garcilaso de la Vega (in Spanish) and Camoes (in Portuguese). Only the truly rich city mouse can afford to live in a happy Arcadia. Don Quixote considers becoming a shepherd instead of a knight at the end of the second part; before he can invoke this trope, his housekeeper tries to dissuade him by lampshading the truth:

Don Quixote / int_27ac178c	comment	Self-Proclaimed Knight: Defied, but played straight: Don Quixote is truly Genre Savvy at Chivalric Romance books. Chapter III shows him aware of this trope and he tries to defy it when he insists to an innkeeper (who he thinks is a castellan) to knight him after he has watched his armor in the castle chapel -- that is, in the stable of the inn. So Don Quixote believes he has averted this trope. However, Las partidas de Alfonso el Sabio, the Spanish chivalry code, states that a man cannot be knighted if he is too poor or if he is knighted as a joke... so, Don Quixote, being an Impoverished Patrician trying to defy this trope, only has enforced it.

Don Quixote / int_28a5213a	type	Small Name, Big Ego
Don Quixote / int_28a5213a	comment	Unfortunately for him, Cervantes was not a very known author when he published Don Quixote at 1605, and given the extremely difficult Spanish literary environment of his time, he didn't get any commendatory verses for his book from any (famous) author; so he wrote a dialogue in the Preface of the Author, Part I, where Cervantes explains this setback and despairs to publish Don Quixote. His friend advised him to pretend that Cervantes has done extensive research to impress his audience, when in fact he will take advantage of some tricks used by several renowned Spanish writers of his time (Cervantes never mentions names so as not to disturb famous Spanish authors like Lope de Vega). invoked The first advice of his friend is for Cervantes to write the commendatory verses himself, and then claim they came from some famous or powerful characters of his time, even claiming that some of them were famous poets, basically, for the sake of Falsely Advertised Accuracy. The truth is that a lot of the powerful Spanish people of his time could not be poets, and were even illiterate. The second advice of his friend is to include sentences of Latin that seem to be profound (and so impress his lectors), but in reality, those Latin sentences were very common and any author of his time could find them with very little effort. Cervantes also mocks the authors who attributed to another author some famous line by way of Pop-Cultural Osmosis (in the Spain of the 17th century), despite the fact that those lines were never uttered by them. Cervantesâ€™s friend mentions a line that a lot of people attributed to Horace, but this friend really has done the research, so he mentions "or whoever said it". Last but not least, in his prologue of part I, Cervanteâ€™s friend mentions a common author trick of his time: Any Spanish author of XVII century only needs to mention the most obvious and world-renowned people or facts. And he doesnÂ´t even need to know those facts, he could only research a book that quotes famous authors from A to Z and just insert the examples in his own book, because some readers are simple enough to believe that the author can use all those quotes in any book. Critics have said that this last reference was an attack to Lope de Vega, the most influential Spanish playwright and writer, and very successful and famous in their own time. (Cervantes himself was not successful, but he is one of the most influential universal writers).

He is an armed beggar, that takes only a part of the money of his victims... by asking them. His 60 men assault two soldiers (300 crowns), a Noblewoman (600 crowns) and some pilgrims (60 reals). That would have been 15 crowns and a real for each highwayman. Roque asks for 60 crowns for the soldiers (20%) and 80 crowns from the Noblewoman (13.6%). That's 140 crowns. He gives 2 crowns to each highwayman and the 20 crown left he gives 10 to the pilgrims (that's almost 100 reals) and 10 crowns to Sancho Panza in a clear attempt to Buy Them Off. The people who attacked are happy to keep most of their own money, and Roque Guinart is considered a hero. Everyone is happy! Except for the highwaymen who were cheated of 13 crowns and a real, but Roque manages to Make an Example of Them by murdering the one who dares to be a Deadpan Snarker.

Don Quixote / int_366f3185	comment	Book Burning: A subversion of this trope given that books then were new media: Don Quixote's niece and Old Retainer asked the Moral Guardians' permission to do the book burning in a desperate attempt to cure him. The moral guardians are the most educated people in the village (a curate and a barber), they never wanted to impose their ideas and are doing this as a favor to the family, so they don't care much for this book burning. And a lot of those are really badly written books that destroyed Don Quixote's mind, and the good books were stolen by the moral guardians.

Don Quixote mentions the Nine Worthies: Nine characters who personified the ideal values of a brave knight. They were three pagans (Alexander The Great, Hector, and Julius Caesar), three Jewish (Joshua, Salomon, and Juda Maccabee) and three Christians (King Arthur, Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillion). All of those figures are still very well-known, but most people are not familiar with the idea of all of them united in a single rhetoric concept. When Quixote was wounded by some Badass Bystander and helped by some neighbor, and the neighbor claims Don Quixote is not a Knight Errant, Don Quixote claims: "I know who I am," and adds, "and I know that I may be not only those I have named, but all the Twelve Peers of France and even all the Nine Worthies, since my achievements surpass all that they have done all together and each of them on his own account." Justified, since Quixote is Fan Dumb about Chivalric Romance and he must know everything about knights errant. The real ironic part is that in-universe Quixote is only a Loony Fan who cannot match them, but in Real Life, more people know who Don Quixote is than the Nine Worthies... so this Badass Boast became Hilarious in Hindsight.

Don Quixote / int_38b48685	type	Born in the Wrong Century
Don Quixote / int_38b48685	comment	Born in the Wrong Century: Surprisingly, played straight and lampshaded, not because Don Quixote wants to be a Knight in Shining Armor (Don Quixote wanted to revive a past that really never was, a past with good and bad wizards, fierce giants, fabulous monsters, imaginary reigns, incredible dresses, poisonous snakes, terrible battles, incredible encounters, lovesick princess, funny dwarfs, squires made counts, and a lot of outrageous adventures), but because he is an Hidalgo (noble). Alonso Quijano lives in the wrong century and is lampshaded in the famous Discourse on Arms and Letters, Part I, Chapter 38. Cervantes' genius let him realize that technological advances like gunpowder and artillery demanded the end of the cavalry and the initiation of new strategies and organizational forms in the armies, as well as a redefinition of the role of nobility in a society where individual courage and skill are useless, and the organization of nameless masses of soldiers (infantry) becomes important. With Don Quijote, Cervantes is saying that for him, and for all the nobility (rich or poor) they were born in the wrong century, and they must reform or die. Though with the rise of video games and such, you could make a case for Don Quixote being, unbeknownst even to the author, born too early.

His actions make him the original Lord Error-Prone. In the second part is even worse: he really acts For Happiness, and after some scam-laden adventures that convince him he is a real Knight Errant, he must face the sad fact that he has not helped anyone, and therefore, all those Chivalric Romance tropes were Blatant Lies. This is so heartbreaking that he becomes Bored with Insanity and dies. Being called "Quixotic" is not always a good thing.

Roland was invulnerable to bladed weapons everywhere except the soles of his feet, so he worse shoes with 7 iron soles. To counter this instead of attacking him with a sword, Bernardo simply strangled Roland... Cool, isn't it? But not as cool as the first time this tale was told, as our narrator reminds us. In Part I, Chapter I: The giant Morgante is one of Alonso Quixanoâ€™s favorite characters, because despite being a giant, (and in the chivalry books all giants are arrogant and angry), he is affable and well bred...

Don Quixote / int_6a3c49f	comment	Direct Line to the Author: Cervantes (only referred in the book as "the second author") says that the book was based on some manuscripts he found made by an Arab, Cide Hamete Benengeli (or Sidi Ahmed bin Engeli, as it would be rendered today) whose first name, "Cide", could be translated as "Mister", and whose last name is a pun on "berenjena" (eggplant / aubergine), and translated to Spanish by an anonymous Arab translator. This is parody of how a lot of chivalry books have his authors claim that they are based in an old manuscript found in an ancient pyramid or another ruined building in some faraway country, written in an exotic language by a wise, famed wizard who favored the hero of the novel. Those claims are made to feign that the chivalry book was inspired by real events. Cervantes twists this and uses it to a comic effect, explaining that the next part of the novel was found in some pamphlets and papers (only a few years old) found in AlcanÃ¡ de Toledo (a real city in Spain) in a silk mercer store, written in Arabic (a fairly known language in Spain) by a (foolish) boy who didn't know what was written in them and so sold the papers to Cervantes for peanuts. If we include the funny name of the wizard and the fact that the second author, the translator and Cide Hamete Benengeli are always making comments about the book, we can see that Cervantes want us to admit that all this tale is a long sequence of lies and nonsense... just like all the chivalry books.

(Ganelon was the guy who betrayed Roland at Roncesvalles and who becomes, with Mordred, and Judas, one of the great exemplars of treachery for the mediÃ¦val period). The Duke and the Duchess: They spent a lot of money and organize truly massive scams (Dulcineaâ€™s enchantment involves all the people in their castle, while the Insula Barataria involves all the people of a town) only to laugh at Don Quixote and Sancho. The Cousin, a Know-Nothing Know-It-All who is a researcher of Little Known Facts and author of three books (still not published): All of great utility and no less entertainment to the nation. With quotes from more than twenty five authors. The Spanish Inquisition: To have an enchanted head that answers questions could lead to the ignorant vulgar should be scandalized.

Don Quixote / int_6d7026fa	comment	Punny Name: In a 17th century's pun, Quixote means "cuisse", the piece of armor covering the thigh. Modern Spanish form is quijote. Don Quixote's real name, Alonso Quijano, is a pun on "quijada" (jaw), as he's also a rather skinny guy. Panza means "belly", specifically a big one. Accordingly, Sancho is fat. Rocinante's name contains "rocÃn", still used today in Spanish to name any ugly, skinny or generally bad-quality horse. Don Quijote needs four days to think up the name, which by his intention comes from "RocÃn antes", "a rocÃn before", to signify that the horse (in his mind) has now been promoted to a mighty warhorse. However, the name can also be interpreted as "being a rocÃn", which is more revealing of the truth about Rocinante.

Don Quixote / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Not only of chivalric romances themselves (see below for details), but also of the attitudes they foster in their readers. While Don Quixote takes things to extremes for the sake of a good laugh, Cervantes uses him to make the point that living one's life in the real world strictly by an idealized, incomplete, and oft-contradictory code of chivalry is ultimately an exercise in absurdity. Literary critics note that the second part of the book is perhaps an even more comprehensive deconstruction than Part 1, in that it tackles the thin line between fiction and reality. When Don Quixote and Sancho Panza meet aristocrats, Dukes, Kings, and Village Prefects, the latter engage in petty and cruel games intended to see invoked Don Quixote do something crazy. In their interactions, critics from Miguel de Unamuno and Harold Bloom note, the books make a larger point that all of society essentially rests on a fiction; aristocrats have to act like aristocrats to be aristocrats when their authority and power is actually unearned and arbitrary. In the episode where Sancho Panza is made-to-believe that he's actually a governor of a small village, he proves to be far more competent than the real and actual governor of the village. The point at the end is that, Don Quixote in openly making himself a hero out of chivalry isn't anymore crazy than aristocrats making themselves rulers based on imagined lineage or traditions rather than merit. The nature of reality and fiction get tackled even further in the Puppet Theatre episode of Part II. Don Quixote criticizes a puppet theatre's poor staging of an event in the Crusades and keeps heckling it/stage directing to make it real. Don Quixote's constant needling and addition of details ultimately culminates in a staging so realistic that Don Quixote goes nuts and charges in and fights the puppets himself, completely falling in with the fiction he created. Likewise Don Quixote, while an annoying madman in the first book, in the sequel discovers that he's actually become a Living Legend, with fan authors writing spurious legends of his life while Cide Hamete Benengeli is accurate, but denies him royalties. In other words, Don Quixote somehow managed to become a real-life legendary hero with many alternate versions and apocrypha of his adventures spreading around, but gets neither benefit nor satisfaction from it himself.

Don Quixote / int_9633f14b	comment	Don Quixote mentions the Nine Worthies: Nine characters who personified the ideal values of a brave knight. They were three pagans (Alexander The Great, Hector, and Julius Caesar), three Jewish (Joshua, Salomon, and Juda Maccabee) and three Christians (King Arthur, Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillion). All of those figures are still very well-known, but most people are not familiar with the idea of all of them united in a single rhetoric concept. When Quixote was wounded by some Badass Bystander and helped by some neighbor, and the neighbor claims Don Quixote is not a Knight Errant, Don Quixote claims: "I know who I am," and adds, "and I know that I may be not only those I have named, but all the Twelve Peers of France and even all the Nine Worthies, since my achievements surpass all that they have done all together and each of them on his own account." Justified, since Quixote is Fan Dumb about Chivalric Romance and he must know everything about knights errant. The real ironic part is that in-universe Quixote is only a Loony Fan who cannot match them, but in Real Life, more people know who Don Quixote is than the Nine Worthies... so this Badass Boast became Hilarious in Hindsight.

Foreshadowed by the Golden Age speech he gives to the shepherds in the book's beginning; pastoral tropes in general are very important in the novel for deconstruction and parody. The real shepherds are Country Mouse-ish ignorant people who have enough common sense and work as shepherds by need. They want to help and are sympathetic enough. The problem comes when a lot of City Mouse types try to invoke this trope:

Also, despite all the beatings he takes throughout the novel, he still survives to the end. Quixote also receives some serious damage during his fights, he loses half his right ear about half a dozen teeth, and shrugs them off with nothing more than a quip about the nobleness of Knight-Errantry. Indeed, as noted by novelist and critic, Vladimir Nabokov, despite being seen as a crazy knight, Don Quixote actually wins more fights than he loses.

Don Quixote / int_a148f27b	comment	The nature of reality and fiction get tackled even further in the Puppet Theatre episode of Part II. Don Quixote criticizes a puppet theatre's poor staging of an event in the Crusades and keeps heckling it/stage directing to make it real. Don Quixote's constant needling and addition of details ultimately culminates in a staging so realistic that Don Quixote goes nuts and charges in and fights the puppets himself, completely falling in with the fiction he created. Likewise Don Quixote, while an annoying madman in the first book, in the sequel discovers that he's actually become a Living Legend, with fan authors writing spurious legends of his life while Cide Hamete Benengeli is accurate, but denies him royalties. In other words, Don Quixote somehow managed to become a real-life legendary hero with many alternate versions and apocrypha of his adventures spreading around, but gets neither benefit nor satisfaction from it himself.

The windmill is the television show Bolt but there is a real windmill too. The 2007 computer-animated film Donkey Xote is an In Name Only adaptation told from the point of view of Sancho Panza's donkey Rucio, best known for how it blatantly rips off Shrek: The donkey is clearly modeled after Shrek's Donkey, and the advertising even presented it as "From producers who saw Shrek."

Justified because she is Just a Kid who has lived in a Gilded Cage, and really doesnâ€™t know better. Clingy Jealous Girl Claudia Jeronima deconstructs this trope: She is wearing men's clothes because she has murdered a supposedly unfaithful lover and Barcelona is having a Civil War. She wants to conceal her identity so her family would not be harmed by anyone seeking revenge. The exiled Ana Felix deconstructs this trope: Fleeing for Spain for having a Muslim father, she enters Algiers, where the King blackmails her to steal his family treasure hidden in Spain. So she wears men's clothes to come back with the King's soldiers and mislead the Spanish authorities.

The problem is that a lot of people enjoys Sancho's sarcasm (he is good at it), and so he feels compelled to say it, even when he is in perilous situations, like when he denied payment to an Innkeeper (Chapter XVII part I), and he mocked the entire people of the Braying Town or the highwaymen of Barcelona (Chapters XXVII and LX of the part II) The first give him a beating, the highwaymen almost kill him. The only murder that is explicitly shown in this novel is the bandit who dared to snark to his leader, and Andres (the flogged boy) snarking about Don Quixote's rescue is the first clue the reader has that he was an Asshole Victim all the time.

Don Quixote / int_b53077b3	type	Take That!
Don Quixote / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: Cervantes uses his book to attack several people and institutions of the XVII century, always in a funny manner: Unfortunately for him, Cervantes was not a very known author when he published Don Quixote at 1605, and given the extremely difficult Spanish literary environment of his time, he didn't get any commendatory verses for his book from any (famous) author; so he wrote a dialogue in the Preface of the Author, Part I, where Cervantes explains this setback and despairs to publish Don Quixote. His friend advised him to pretend that Cervantes has done extensive research to impress his audience, when in fact he will take advantage of some tricks used by several renowned Spanish writers of his time (Cervantes never mentions names so as not to disturb famous Spanish authors like Lope de Vega). invoked The first advice of his friend is for Cervantes to write the commendatory verses himself, and then claim they came from some famous or powerful characters of his time, even claiming that some of them were famous poets, basically, for the sake of Falsely Advertised Accuracy. The truth is that a lot of the powerful Spanish people of his time could not be poets, and were even illiterate. The second advice of his friend is to include sentences of Latin that seem to be profound (and so impress his lectors), but in reality, those Latin sentences were very common and any author of his time could find them with very little effort. Cervantes also mocks the authors who attributed to another author some famous line by way of Pop-Cultural Osmosis (in the Spain of the 17th century), despite the fact that those lines were never uttered by them. Cervantesâ€™s friend mentions a line that a lot of people attributed to Horace, but this friend really has done the research, so he mentions "or whoever said it". Last but not least, in his prologue of part I, Cervanteâ€™s friend mentions a common author trick of his time: Any Spanish author of XVII century only needs to mention the most obvious and world-renowned people or facts. And he doesnÂ´t even need to know those facts, he could only research a book that quotes famous authors from A to Z and just insert the examples in his own book, because some readers are simple enough to believe that the author can use all those quotes in any book. Critics have said that this last reference was an attack to Lope de Vega, the most influential Spanish playwright and writer, and very successful and famous in their own time. (Cervantes himself was not successful, but he is one of the most influential universal writers). An attack to the (then) famous chivalry book's author Feliciano de Silva's composition, "for their lucidity of style and complicated conceits were as pearls in his sight"; Feliciano's style was an example of how to sacrifice Utility upon the altar of Eloquence, writing sentence after sentence of redundant synonyms, making it so confusing that you cannot even try to comprehend it.

Don Quixote / int_bee8baee	comment	Faint in Shock: Many, many characters, but the most significant faint has to be Luscinda's. Already having agreed to marry her beloved Cardenio, Luscinda is placed under immense duress when her parents make her marry the nobleman Fernando instead. On the day of the wedding, Luscinda hides a dagger on her body, as well as a letter explaining that her loyalty belongs to Cardenio and that she plans to kill herself. During the wedding, however, Luscinda is unable to defy the pressure and ends up following through with the exchanging of vows and consents to the marriage in a weakened and dismayed voice. Realizing the finality of the situation, Luscinda faints on the spot. Not only does this cause Cardenio to storm out of the wedding feeling betrayed, but Luscinda's suicide plan is also foiled as both her suicide note and her dagger are discovered and removed from her unconscious body. Her despair is so great that she does not wake up from her faint until the following day.

In the 10 years between the first and second part of the novel, there were some "apocryphal" continuations, which Cervantes himself references and afterwards rejects, saying he is the original writer. This probably makes it one of the oldest examples. Also, there have been professional fanfictions written in Spanish for the last four hundred years (the most recent: "Al morir Don Quijote", published in 2004). You can find some examples in the other wiki: "List of works influenced by Don Quixote: 'Selected adaptations in literature'" and additional examples of Alternate Universe Fic, Continuation Fic, Elsewhere Fic, Original Flavour, in the other (Spanish) wiki: "Continuations of Quixote: 'Continuaciones del Quixote'"

Don Quixote / int_c6538cc6	comment	The Dulcinea Effect: Don Quixote, pretty much the Trope Maker — and Trope Namer — for this, is a parody of this trope. The hero Don Quixote, who believes himself to be a knight, claims to serve a beautiful, virtuous young lady, Dulcinea (really named Aldonza Lorenzo, but Don Quixote doesn't care), who is, in fact, nothing more than a peasant from his hometown, and, in some adaptations, a whore. Interestingly, in the original novel as well as in most adaptations, the actual character Dulcinea makes not a single appearance. He knows that the lady is nothing more than a excuse for the hero to have adventures, so he imagines his lady and begins to live his dreams!

Those hundred crowns that Sancho found in the valise in the Sierra Morena. Played straight in the book: Sancho talks about using a sword at Part I Chapter XV and the Barber mentions Sancho has a sword in his hips at Part I Chapter XLVI, but at Part II Chapter XIV, Sancho denies ever having a sword. The name of Sanchoâ€™s wife changes at the same page in Part I Chapter 7 (Juana GutiÃ©rrez and Mari GutiÃ©rrez), in Part I Chapter LII (Juana Panza), changes again at Part II Chapter V (Teresa Panza and Teresa Cascajo) and in Part II Chapter L (Teresa Panza).

Don Quixote / int_d295a79e	comment	Literary critics note that the second part of the book is perhaps an even more comprehensive deconstruction than Part 1, in that it tackles the thin line between fiction and reality. When Don Quixote and Sancho Panza meet aristocrats, Dukes, Kings, and Village Prefects, the latter engage in petty and cruel games intended to see invoked Don Quixote do something crazy. In their interactions, critics from Miguel de Unamuno and Harold Bloom note, the books make a larger point that all of society essentially rests on a fiction; aristocrats have to act like aristocrats to be aristocrats when their authority and power is actually unearned and arbitrary. In the episode where Sancho Panza is made-to-believe that he's actually a governor of a small village, he proves to be far more competent than the real and actual governor of the village. The point at the end is that, Don Quixote in openly making himself a hero out of chivalry isn't anymore crazy than aristocrats making themselves rulers based on imagined lineage or traditions rather than merit.

Played straight when the Canon makes a small Character Filibuster asking for a law to regulate Theatre in Spain, and so avoid excesses and revenge between actors and society, which is obviously an Author Filibuster from Cervantes himself.

Don Quixote / int_e1721fd1	comment	Antiquated Linguistics: In the original Spanish book, at least, Don Quijote uses outdated forms of speech and pronunciation, like maintaining the initial 'f' in words like 'fermosa' (hermosa), in an attempt to emulate the outdated forms of speech used on chivalry novels. This shows up in some translations as a Woolseyism: Don Quixote simply uses more archaic vocabulary than everyone else around. Really toned down in the second part, so it appears that the Spanish language was modernized in 10 years, or for the people missing the joke (because they don't know if words like 'fermosa' were used back in the 1600s) thinking it's a more up to date transcription. The very name of the book itself. The 'x' in the name denotes an antiquated ortography for a very strong "h" phonem (similar as Scottish loch) and not 'eks'. It is written in Modern Spanish as 'j'. Thus don Quijote, (ki-ho-tey) not Quixote (quick-sot). The Spanish edition uses the modern ortography, Don Quijote. A special mention deserves the Spanish word insula, Gratuitous Latin that means island or place limited and isolated, the Standard Hero Reward Don Quixote has promised to Sancho. Sancho keeps using that word even when he doesn't know what it is.

Don Quixote / int_efec6bf6	type	Betrayal Tropes
Don Quixote / int_efec6bf6	comment	Don Quixote: Type I: The very last stage of Alonso Quixano's obsession with chivalry books and the first stage of his true madness (and also to show exactly how out of touch with reality he really is): Part I, Chapter I shows us how important are the chivalry books for him: he will have given his housekeeper and his niece to kick that traitor of Ganelon. (Ganelon was the guy who betrayed Roland at Roncesvalles and who becomes, with Mordred, and Judas, one of the great exemplars of treachery for the mediÃ¦val period).

Don Quixote / int_f93e1eb7	type	Locked Away in a Monastery
Don Quixote / int_f93e1eb7	comment	Deconstructed again at chapter LII from the first part, in which Eugenio tells the story of the beautiful Leandra, who elopes with a soldier that left her. Leandra gets Locked Away in a Monastery while her various City Mouse admirers decided to become shepherds and make poems about how Leandra betrayed them... even when she never gave them any hope. Eugenio tells that all those shepherds curse Leandraâ€™s indiscretion, and they seem so unhappy that he lampshades that Arcadia is really a living hell. Eugenio then says he has decided to follow the easier way, claim All Women Are Lustful and become a Politically Incorrect Hero who hates all women.

Don Quixote / int_fb724048	comment	Real After All: Sancho Panza is fooled by the Duke to assume a governorship (really a complicated series of scams just to prank Sancho). When Sancho patrols his Insula, he is victim of various pranksters, except for the last one, a Sweet Polly Oliver that no one knows, who is a girl who has escaped his Gilded Cage, to all the pranksters' confusion.

He is a character from the non canon sequel written by Avellaneda, who appears at the end of the legitimate second part of the Quijote, the one written by Cervantes, talking to the real Don Quijote and Sancho.
