No seriously, the book has been around for hundreds of years and is still relevant today. A large chunk of our Western entertainment is based off of Don Quixote, especially its humor. Obsessed with chivalrous ideals, Don Quixote wrestles with the idea of chivalry, nobility, and happiness. Don Quixote also pokes fun at the romance that the time period obsessed over. In the different realitiesportrayed in the novel, the reader “sees both sides of each situation they find themselves in romantic versus grounded.” Everything a reader needs in life is therefore included in ‘Don Quixote.’
