Don Quixote of La Mancha was an amazing character! Reading the story, I was amused by his qualities. Bordering on fifty, his actions would match a young lad better but I still found him very remarkable. At this age I can’t see myself closely comparing any of my fictional reading into reality, however he takes all of his readings and stuffs his imagination with all these enchantments. It became the only thing that he did and he read every single book of chivalry that he could compare the oldest and the most recent literary piece. As he decides that he should make a knight-errant of himself, I confirmed that he really was serious with all the reading that he did that it brought me to think that he had determination. All the things that he wanted to apply in his lifestyle were not close to truth but how he prepared for it was admirable. In the latter part of the story, he tried to defeat the windmills that he described as monstrous giants to Sancho Panza.  For me, he believed that he could achieve anything. And even if he was hurt, he did not stop to have confidence that one day he will be able to defeat an enemy and be that knight-errant that he wants to be.
