Comparison_Of_Don_Quixote,_Sir_Gawain,_And_The_Confucian_Gen

Comparison Of Don Quixote, Sir Gawain, And The Confucian Gentleman Quixote, Sir Gawain, and the Confucian gentleman are examples of the imperfections of mankind. No matter how hard each of them tries there is always a fundamental flaw that keeps them from perfecting their inner self. I chose to analyze Chapter 3 of Book 1 in Don Quixote. This chapter is important to the novel as a whole because it shows that Don Quixote is truly insane and not just faking being mad. In chapter 3 Don Quixote and Sancho Panza come across an inn that Don Quixote imagines being an enormous castle. The chapter begins with Don Quixote begging the keeper of the inn to formally knight him with an elaborate ceremony at his castle. The innkeeper then realizes that Don Quixote is insane so he plays along with his act and agrees to knight him. The innkeeper goes on to tell Don Quixote that he was once a brave knight errant who traveled the world seeking adventure. The places the innkeeper describes are low-life parts of towns in Spain. If Don Quixote had been truly a sane person he would have realized at this point that the innkeeper was quixote, don, because, gawain, sir, confucian, gentleman, money, innkeeper, knight, man, fact, shows, insane, flaw, written, renaissance, people, novel, human, even, errant, code, chapter, before, times, through, one, nature, insanity, important, fundamental, chivalry, believes, analects
