“Don Quixote” is a classic novel that tells the story of a man who becomes so enamored with tales of chivalry that he sets out on his own quest as a knight-errant.

The novel is a humorous and satirical exploration of idealism, reality, and the nature of heroism, often considered one of the greatest works of literature.
Your review:
Loved the book but it had a weird ending. Was the dragon really windmills?
Considerations:
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed “Don Quixote”! It’s certainly a classic tale that has captivated readers for centuries. You’re not alone in finding the ending a bit perplexing – the metaphor of the windmills being perceived as dragons is one of the most iconic aspects of the novel. This scene can be seen as a representation of Don Quixote’s idealistic character and his propensity for blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. It’s interesting how Cervantes plays with these elements throughout the book, isn’t it? As you reflect on the story, you might consider how the windmills-dragon analogy fits into your overall interpretation of Don Quixote’s adventures. How does it affect your understanding of the main character’s view of the world? Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s always intriguing to hear different interpretations of such a multifaceted narrative.
