Letter to Don Quixote
Dear, Don Quixote!
Recently I read one of the greatest literary works in the world – the novel by M. Cervantes “The Witty Hidalgo Don Quixote of Laman”. I was amazed at your image – the main character of the novel.
The impoverished hidalgo from Lamania, having read novels, imagined himself a valiant knight, called himself Don Quixote, and his nag to the noble and euphonious names of Rossinant, chose as the lady of the heart a simple girl from the neighboring village of Aldonsu Lawrence, having devised her the harmonious name of Dulcinea Tobosskaya. And as there is to the face of a valiant knight, you “fitted on the head of his latent helmet, putting on the shield in his hand, grabbed the spears” and “went wandering the worlds of horses and weapons,” “to fight with all sorts of injustice.”
At first glance, you seem like an eccentric, striving to destroy injustice in the world, but almost all your affairs,
Don Quixote can not even imagine that someone can not stick to their word. You – the knight of the Sorrowful Image strive to make life better, you fantasize, the world around you see through the prism of poetry. I like your image of a valiant knight, Don Quixote. If there were no such people in the world, our life would be much poorer. No doubt you and Sancho Panza cause sincere sympathy. Your image began to symbolize the manifestation of the best and noble intentions while completely detached from reality. Approved the new term “quixotism”, which has a real meaning and manifestation of this phenomenon in real life.
People should from time to time think about whether there is any discrepancy between their desires and opportunities, between the real and the ideal. Therefore, the popularity of the novel is going through a century.
