SLIDESMANIA.CO Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes
SLIDESMANIA.CO M Plot Summary A middle-aged man named Alonso Quixano , from the region of La Mancha in central Spain , is a skinny bachelor and a lover of chivalry romances, loses his mind and decides to become a valiant knight. He names himself Don Quixote de la Mancha , names his bony horse Rocinante , and gives his beloved the sweet name Dulcinea. In a few days’ time, Don Quixote puts on a rusty suit of armor and sets out on his first sally. He is knighted at an inn, which he takes to be a castle, defends a young shepherd from his angry master, and receives a beating from some merchants, who are ignorant of the rules of knight-errantry. He returns to his village to recover.
SLIDESMANIA.CO Plot Summary They free a group of prisoners, who thank them by pelting them with stones. They meet all sorts of interesting strangers, many of whom are involved in unhappy love affairs. They attend the funeral of a man who died of love for a beautiful shepherdess, and they inadvertently help to reunite several estranged couples. A large, motley cast of characters assembles at a small inn, where misunderstandings and reconciliations follow one another at lighting speed. The barber and the priest disguise themselves and drag Quixote back to the village in a wooden cage, hoping to cure his madness. At the end of part one, he is bedridden and down at heart.
SLIDESMANIA.CO M Plot Summary Part two finds Quixote a month older, and eager to set out on his third sally. He learns from the student Carrasco that his adventures thus far have been recorded in a very popular chivalry romance, which has made him and Sancho very famous. Within a few days, Quixote and Sancho set out for El Toboso to obtain Dulcinea’s blessing. But neither of them knows where Dulcinea lives, because there is no such person in real life – only a peasant girl named Aldonza, very unlike the ethereal princess of Quixote’s imagination. To mend this inconsistency, Sancho tells Quixote that a coarse-looking peasant girl they meet on the road is, in fact, the enchanted Dulcinea. Quixote is miserable to see his beloved take such an incongruous shape.
