Don Quixote, Part 2, Chapter 18: riassunto

Part 2, Chapter 18 di 129 · Part 1 · 13 min per leggere: chapter

In Chapter 18, Don Quixote enjoys Don Diego de Miranda’s hospitality, discusses knight-errantry with Don Lorenzo, and praises the young man’s poetry while his hosts question his sanity. After four comfortable days, he chooses adventure over rest and departs with Sancho Panza, naming the Cave of Montesinos and Ruidera among his intended destinations.

Cosa succede

  1. Don Diego welcomes Don Quixote into his home, where jars from El Toboso remind the visitor of Dulcinea.
  2. Don Lorenzo questions Don Quixote and finds sensible conversation mixed with extravagant claims about knight-errantry.
  3. After dinner, Don Lorenzo recites a gloss and a sonnet, winning enthusiastic praise from Don Quixote.
  4. After four days, Don Quixote decides that his calling requires adventures rather than continued comfort.
  5. Sancho reluctantly packs provisions, and the travelers depart after Don Quixote offers Don Lorenzo further advice.
