In Don Quixote we witness the complete genome of the novel. Yes, every work of fiction exists within Don Quixote. Everything that has been written, is currently written, and will be written in the future, in the quill of Cervantes it has been traced. This is thus what inspired Borges to write the epitaph:

>There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance; so Solomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion.

Nice nonsensical iconoclastic statement. Were you inspired by Bloom's "Shakespeare invented the human?"

>In the evening Don Quixote. We see how unsatisfactorily one reads in one’s youth and how superficially the second part has been judged. R. says he would like a room expressly devoted to honoring every single genius such as Cervantes. R. remarks how C.’s genius creates exactly like Nature, and he and Shakespeare belong among the poets in whom, as in Homer, one does not notice the art, while (for example) the Greek tragedies, Schiller, Calderon, seem like high priests, constructing their forms, as it were, out of a thought. The figure of Don Q. is a counterpart of Hamlet, he says, in regard to the mixture of the sublime with the ridiculous. And everything always human. In this figure Cervantes has depicted himself, he must often have felt like that in relation to the outside world, and his glorious humanity (e.g., his judgment on the knights of the Court) resembles the manner in which C. himself speaks about the poets of the same period. What is striking about the second part is the development of the characters. Sancho has become a different person, yet remains the same, he has gone on to personify the poet himself. He sees everything, everything interests him, when D. Q. enters Don Diego’s house, the writer observes that it was above all the stillness of it which pleased him. [...] Coming back to D. Q., R. says that Goethe created something similar in Werther, that is to say, a book in which one is not conscious of the art behind it. When Cervantes tries to be an artist, he turns into an academician, conventional—his genius is absolutely unconscious, like an elemental force. Today he said much more in this manner, always divine, unique.

>At lunch R. declares: “I have been thinking again about Don Quixote and, considering it from the angle of its ironic outlook on the world, I was reminded of a dialogue by Plato; it is in him, too, this irony, but there it appears free, confident, nothing is pressing on it. Whereas one senses the horrible pressure of Catholicism on Cervantes’s noble spirit; the way he finds it necessary to make the poor Moresco praise the Inquisition! In the Greek one sees the Olympic wreath, in the Spaniard the starving poet, treated by the nobility, just as D. Q. was treated, like a plaything, in a world hostile to things of the spirit. Oh, the misery of having been born in this millennium!”

>At breakfast R. mentions the four most original characters literature has given the world: Hamlet, Falstaff, Don Quixote, and Sancho.

>Don Quixote
>a comedy
>with no real plot
>has two parts
>and four endings
It's sort of crazy how many "great novels" are super serious tragedies and how many writers and English teachers focus so heavily on plot, given how Don Quixote shunned all these things.

El padre asegura, será un ingeniero
la madre pretende que sea doctor.
Las tías quisieran que fuera banquero
un hombre de mundo, un gran seductor.

La abuela sugiere que aprenda un oficio
para que la vida se pueda ganar
en tanto el abuelo augura que el niño
se pondrá las botas, será militar.

Desde su galaxia el niño ya sabe
que cuando sea grande tendrá que ceder.
Pero, mientras tanto, él tiene la llave
del eterno sueño de ser o no ser.

Bombero, bombero, yo quiero ser bombero
Bombero, bombero, porque es mi voluntad.
Bombero, bombero, yo quiero ser bombero
que nadie se meta con mi identidad.

Don Quixote frequently breaks the fourth wall and comments on its own nature as a work of fiction. This self-referential quality became a common feature in postmodern literature (i.e. Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler) .

It is more like the first modern novel, it is a satire of romantic Europe. It is definitely one of the greatest novels of all time and is groundbreaking in narrative structure.

It is a satire of the romantic medieval knight, he lives in a modern world where his kind does not exist anymore, nor is needed. A world with rifles and modern notions of government and reason.

On a similar theme, the rag tag Spanish guerrillas in Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls are portrayed as the living legacy of Spanish knights, with their horses and code of honor.

Though they did not ride in shining armor nor fight for a monarch. They fought government fascists with guns, automatic rifles, and even IEDs. The story revolves around an IED.

They were farmers, students, everyday men and women from across Spain. They were armed, trained, organized, and disciplined as well. Marched through the mountains.

Neither did they fight windmills, but real people, honorably, armed men who can shoot back. Men whose job it is to kill or be killed. Not with lances, but with rifles.

I think the 'toss is saying that modern liberals create a strawmen out of "the nazis" in order to portray themselves as heroic. They need a windmill to tilt at.

Even though the nazi party does not exist, you still have people saying things like "time to punch nazis" like they are a Hollywood American GI Joe from 1942.

>dude these knightly romances are so cringe let's make a satire of them
No thanks
The original romances that don quixote was written to satire are far better than anything that was struck from Cervante's pen
