Don Quixote: resumen de Chapter 17

Chapter 17 de 129 · Part 1 · 14 min para leer el chapter

In Chapter 17, Don Quixote makes a healing potion that leaves him feeling recovered but makes Sancho desperately ill, then refuses to pay the innkeeper on grounds of knightly privilege. Sancho follows his example and suffers a blanket tossing, while his injured master can only protest from outside the yard.

Qué sucede

  1. Don Quixote explains their injuries through enchantment, and the constable strikes him with a lamp after receiving an insult.
  2. Don Quixote prepares and blesses a potion, vomits after drinking it, and wakes from sleep feeling recovered.
  3. Sancho drinks the remaining potion and becomes violently ill; Don Quixote blames his lack of knighthood.
  4. The innkeeper identifies his establishment as an inn, but Don Quixote refuses payment and rides away.
  5. Sancho also refuses payment, and nine men toss him in a blanket while Don Quixote protests helplessly.
  6. Maritornes supplies Sancho with drinks; he rides away unaware that the innkeeper keeps his saddlebags.
