Don Quixote is funny, isn't it? But he really scared me!

I don't read much, so I always keep my distance from these foreign classics, especially those with a long history. I'm afraid they are obscure. Wouldn't it be disappointing if you couldn't watch it once you opened it? I didn't expect to see Don Quixote again these days. Cervantes, the author, told me seriously that the relaxed and humorous writing attracted me at once. I didn't expect this Spanish work, which came out at the beginning of17th century, to be so approachable!

I couldn't help laughing several times in the afternoon when I first saw it. The story tells the story of Don Quixote, an old gentleman with a little wealth in Spain, who was hallucinated because he read too many knight novels, and determined to become a great knight, adhering to the chivalry, traveling around the world, getting rid of violence, upholding justice, and achieving great achievements for generations to come.

He was dressed all over, wearing the helmet and armor left by his great grandfather, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, riding a poor dry and thin horse, and really went out to be a ranger. He set everything he encountered along the way according to the characters and environment in knight novels, such as taking the inn as a castle and the shopkeeper as the owner of the fortress ... No matter what he set others up to, he will always be a punisher or savior representing justice, and he has done many ridiculous things.

For example, on the road, he saw a group of people coming in the distance, two monks in front, a carriage behind, a woman sitting inside, and some followers. He immediately "understood" that two magicians had hijacked a princess, and his task was to save the princess from them.

So he immediately stood in the middle of the road with a horizontal knife and declared war on his "enemy" righteously. The result of this kind of thing is either that he is beaten up by others or that he knocks others' heads off.

However, this kind of fighting is not just a combination of fists and feet, but a real knife and gun fight. Of course, it was still the age of cold weapons, and there were no guns. But he used enough hair and sword to kill people. Once the enthusiastic knight begins to do justice with blood boiling, his sword will be cut to the other side with all his strength, and he will strive to split the other side in half with one knife, and the other side will of course fight back equally fiercely.

Therefore, Don Quixote's so-called "adventurer" is really not just talk. He is really practicing this ridiculous ideal with his own life and the lives of others.

Knight novel is a popular novel describing 15 and 16 century Spanish knight errant. Knights are a class, originally from small and medium-sized landlords and rich peasants. They fought for the big feudal lords and got land and other rewards from them, so they were the bottom of the ruling class.

This class has formed its own spirit and morality, the so-called "chivalry". Chivalry includes martial spirit, adventurous spirit, attaching importance to personal honor and personality, dedication to justice and so on. Chivalrous novels, which were all the rage, greatly exaggerated these and created a ranger image with great personal heroism.

Although Don Quixote was a widower in his fifties, he was fascinated by these heroic images and lost his mind like a teenager.

Cervantes' humorous writing portrays this character in a comedy way, which really makes people laugh. He is like a master of telling jokes. He spoke very seriously, but the audience burst into laughter from time to time.

I feel very happy at first, but after laughing a few times, you will feel a little cold in your back, and then you will be scared when you think about it.

The biggest evil in this world is often done by some so-called idealists. They are often inspired and dominated by a seemingly lofty ideal, but this lofty ideal does not really improve their spiritual realm, but combines with the evil in the depths of human nature, allowing the evil devil to parade through the city in a sacred coat and bring disaster to the world. Like Hitler, like the behavior of a fanatic who has been deeply disturbed in recent years.

Don Quixote spared no effort to cut the sword of the imaginary enemy, regardless of the consequences, with or without you. He only judges everything according to his own logic. Once he decides that someone is an enemy, he will hurt others without scruple in a sense of just glory. Terrible! Terrible!

Therefore, evil is extremely cunning. It knows that although it is strong and rooted in human nature since ancient times, it has never been completely eradicated, but it is easy to be recognized and become a target of public criticism when it appears alone. Therefore, it must be disguised and rely on those high-sounding spiritual slogans and flags to deceive the public and gather the greatest strength for its own use.

No, no, no, Don Quixote is not ridiculous, but terrible!
