Features: Don Quixote, a poor gentleman, takes it upon himself to restore the fallen knightly system. He emulates ancient knights, travels the world, and champions the oppressed. In his delusions, he mistakes windmills for giants, inns for castles, flocks of sheep for enemies, copper pots for helmets, and wine sacks for heads, engaging in absurd and humorous acts of violence. Only upon his death does he awaken from his dream, regretting his actions, and denouncing the harm the knightly novels had inflicted upon him.
