The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha begins with a simple man who finds pleasure in reading books of chivalry. And to this he dedicated a great deal of his time and thought, wishing recognition for the heroes of the world he believed most worthy of it. It is from this mere form of recreation that his admiration of the valiant turns to obsession. More fictitious books of fierce knights and romantic notions only fed his appraisal of the valiant which in itself consumed his own mind and captivated him into his own world of fantasy. As occurs often when it comes to obsession this eventually evolved into envy. Don Quixote coveted his own obscure ideas of glory and recognition and resolved to venture in its pursuit.
