Don Quixote, Part 2, Chapter 36: riassunto

Part 2, Chapter 36 di 129 · Part 1 · 9 min per leggere: chapter

In Chapter 36, Sancho shares his letter to Teresa with the duchess, who challenges his account of the governorship and his eagerness for money. The steward’s new entertainment brings a messenger requesting help for Countess Trifaldi, and Don Quixote treats the appeal as proof that wandering knights are necessary.
