Character Analysis of Miguel de Cervantes’

Don Quixote is a character who has bright visions for the world he lives in. This vision however
failed to let him distinguish reality versus imagination. He failed to see that in every action is a
corresponding consequence to those he was trying to help. Instead of achieving good results, it
only worsened every situation he had come across. Don Quixote was pictured as fiercely
intelligent but the foolishness of his actions would make the readers question his sanity. In the
end, Don Quixote accepted defeat due to his failures. His actions can be rooted to his desire to
transform people by asserting oneself thus creating unnecessary interventions on heated
situations. He ought to approach humans and correct their wrongdoings. Cervantes’ novel
centers the story to human folly and how values can result to in both positive and negative
outcomes.
Don Quixote, in today’s culture, is every men and women who seeks reform from the injustices
in the society. Most of us aspire for a better community where justice is served to whom it is
due. Crimes, abuses, horrific punishments are experienced by those who are impoverished and
have many disadvantages in life. However, there are men and women, like Miguel de
Cervantes, who puts words into action by leading the change. A few become successful; a few
did otherwise.
