Don Quixote: Renaissance humor with a modern translation A Spanish knight, about fifty years of age, gave himself up so entirely to recital the romances of chivalry, that in the end they turned his brain, and null would satisfy him but that he must ride oversea on his ancient horse, armed with spear and helmet, a knight-errant, to take care all adventures, and to redress the innumerable wrongs of the world. As is the case in this epic tale by Cervantes, modern man is not immune to prolonged free burning suggestion. All sarcasm criticizes the corrupted ideas and theories of mankind, not by substituting for them other ideas and other theories, slight imperfect, but by placing the facts of life, in mute comment, alongside of the theories. To be put in a more tangible sense, later on addressing a subject matter over a sustained period of time one is apt to view them selves in the same light as the character of which they are entrance by. It plagues the news as high school children take accouterments and seek vengeance inside schools today. As the Scapegoat they note the blame on television, violent movies, and video games. Theorists and psychologists say that the raspy and abrasive nature of movies like the Matrix and Rambo are preoccupied into the maturing mind of adolescence and are seen as fact. As is the case in Don Quixote where our chivalric hero takes arms after reading one to many romance novels.
Every one sees the irony of Don Quixote, and enjoys it in its more obvious forms. This absurd old gentleman, who tries to put his antiquated ideas into action in a busy, selfish, unglamorous world, is a figure of fun even to the meanest intelligence. But, with more thought, thither comes a check to our frivolity.
A short but a impregnable description for themes of the book. It helped me for my presentation about the novel.
