A novel topic of personal shaping
First, we see that Don Quixote is such a person who is divorced from reality, addicted to fantasy and blind in action. He lost his basic rationality because he was fascinated by knight novels. He regarded the description of knight novels as real life, ignored the changed times, tried to revive the outdated knight system with his own ranger behavior, and took resisting injustice as a way to uphold justice and transform society. He was immersed in fantasy and completely lost his judgment on reality: he regarded poor hotels as castles, prostitutes as ladies, barbers' copper pots as magicians' helmets, wine skins as giants' heads and sheep as magicians' armies. In his eyes, there are demons everywhere, and wizards make trouble with everything. So he ran around, rampaged and stabbed imaginary enemies. And the result? Although his motives are kind and sincere, he can only run into a wall, be ridiculed and hurt everywhere, and make himself a funny figure. What makes us feel bitter for Don Quixote most is his love dream. There are many love stories written in Don Quixote, but none happened to Don Quixote. Dulcinea, his dream lover, never existed, but we can always see her around Don Quixote ―― he dreams of her when he is successful, thinks of her when he is frustrated, thinks of her when he is lonely and thinks of her when he is busy. He can tolerate others' insults to himself, but he can't stand others' doubts about Dulcinea's beauty; He met countless beautiful women in his adventure, but he thought that no one could compare with his Dulcinea. Until he was finally defeated, he was still defending the beauty of Dulcinea ―― for this reason, he did not hesitate to give up his honor and life. On his last trip home, Don Quixote was not troubled by his ruined reputation, but by the damage caused by love-this kind of damage, of course, only Dulcinea can give him in his imagination. Don Quixote has no love, only a dream of love, which can be regarded as platonic spiritual love at most, but he suffered a lot and suffered humiliation. How ridiculous, how sad and how deplorable this is! Secondly, we can see that Don Quixote is a pure idealist. He hates tyranny and cruelty, sympathizes with the oppressed working people, yearns for freedom, and regards protecting people's legitimate rights and dignity, weeding out the strong and helping the weak, and eliminating injustice in the world as his life ideal. Perhaps this is his idealized chivalry, but he is so obsessed and persistent with it, so incredible that he has completely become paranoid; And this kind of paranoia is not general, it is all in his heart. Because of paranoia, his behavior became crazy, so everyone regarded him as a madman and thought him ridiculous. But he has never been afraid of people's comments and ridicule, and he is not afraid of insults and blows. Although he ran into a wall everywhere, he was indomitable and sincere, and nothing could change his original intention. For him, life is just a means, not an end. He said that the reason why he cherishes life is nothing more than to realize his ideal. He lives for others, for his brothers, for eradicating evil, and for resisting the forces that oppress mankind, such as wizards and giants. He firmly believes in his ideal and is willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to it. Furthermore, we can say that Don Quixote is a fighter of erin brockovich, because he has the selfless spirit to realize his ideal. Don Quixote dares to fight selflessly for justice and evil. No matter what kind of enemy he meets, he is not timid and never flinches. He regarded the mill windmill as a giant and rushed at it without hesitation. He regarded the wine bag as a giant's head and killed it with a spear in despair; He treated the sheep as a magician's army and killed the horse. He fought fiercely with Biscayne and Yanvis; He fought with those who abandoned her for a woman who had been mercilessly abandoned by those who had cheated her; He even dared to face a fierce lion alone without fear. In a word, Don Quixote dares to defend morality, justice and faith with his actions and even his life. Even though he ended in failure in most cases, his indomitable spirit of self-sacrifice is really admirable. To sum up, we can see that Don Quixote is a complicated and contradictory figure. He has both funny characteristics and serious thinking; Ridiculous and noble; It is both comic and tragic, and it is a ridiculous, sad, coke and respectable character with dual personality combination. Second, what is the main significance of Don Quixote's image? We can see it from two aspects: (1) The image of Don Quixote has completely completed the mission of overthrowing knight literature and knight system entrusted by the author. /kloc-In the 3rd century, knight novels were quite popular in Europe. /kloc-After 0/6th century, most European countries have no market for it, but it is still widely sold in Spain, which is flooded with disasters. This novel has the same structure and fantastic plot. They are all fictional knights, who have experienced countless thrilling experiences and endless love entanglements, fought hard for the king and nobles, and always won a great victory in the end. The imperial court and the church used this kind of literature to promote the honor and pride of chivalry, encourage people to carry forward chivalry, maintain feudal rule and establish world hegemony, and many people were addicted to this kind of novels. Cervantes, who has been struggling at the bottom of society, has personally experienced the pain and disaster brought to Spain by the feudal system in the Middle Ages, so he hates to beautify the chivalry and chivalry literature of this system. He wants to awaken people from this intoxicating opium and liberate them from the dream of being divorced from reality. Cervantes has repeatedly declared that his creative motives are "attacking knight novels", "sweeping away the prestige and influence of knight novels in society and the masses" and "sweeping away knight novels". It is through the description of Don Quixote's typical image and absurd behavior, as well as his experience of repeatedly hitting a wall and failing in everything that the author vividly shows that the knight's spear and armor have entered the historical exhibition hall, and going against the wheel of the times will inevitably hit a wall. The author uses the image of Don Quixote to mercilessly ridicule and attack the decadent and absurd knight system and popular knight novels, and points out its poison to people, thus giving a fatal blow to knight novels. In fact, it does play such a role. Since Don Quixote came out, Spanish knight novels have disappeared. (2) "Don Quixote" entrusted the author's humanistic ideal, reflecting its significance of the times. The novel Don Quixote came into being during the Renaissance, which is a turning point of the old and the new. It shows the humanistic thought of the emerging bourgeoisie. The author conveys these humanistic thoughts through the behavior of the protagonist Don Quixote or through his mouth, that is to say, the author pours these humanistic thoughts into the protagonist Don Quixote. 1, the author's humanistic thought is first manifested in opposing the feudal knight system and knight novels. Famous Renaissance writers are basically humanists. Their representative works all show anti-feudal and anti-church themes. So is Cervantes' Don Quixote. The essence of opposing chivalry and chivalrous novels is opposing feudal autocracy and aristocratic privilege, and opposing those perverse and inappropriate behaviors. Cervantes mercilessly mocked and attacked these behaviors by shaping the image of Don Quixote, swept away these thoughts that poisoned people, and accelerated the elimination of knight novels. It is the great success of Don Quixote's image that reaches or even exceeds the author's expectation. 2. The author's humanistic thought is also manifested in opposing tyranny and pursuing freedom and equality. Don Quixote sympathizes with the oppressed working people, hates tyranny and cruelty, yearns for freedom, and takes safeguarding people's legitimate rights and dignity, weeding out the strong and helping the weak, and eliminating injustice in the world as his ideal. He cursed that his era was "the era of all evils" and that "the world is getting worse and worse, and evil is rampant"; He advocates "all things are equal" and "freedom is a priceless treasure given by God". He released the convict because "everyone is born free, and it is cruel to treat free people as slaves". He also believes that people's social status is temporary, and only "virtue" is truly noble. He respects women and advocates personality liberation, equality between men and women and freedom of love. He praised Ryukyu in Brazil for its courage and wit in pursuing love. These all express the aspirations of humanists. Don Quixote has a new humanistic view on freedom, equality, love, judicial system and even literature and art. His absurd behavior hides noble and reasonable factors, which makes people feel that he is a man of great wisdom and courage. This is also an important reason why readers like him and sympathize with him. 3. The author's humanistic thought is also reflected in the realistic writing method adopted in the novel. In the Middle Ages, the feudal class and the church neglected the relationship between literature and reality with ulterior motives, and their works abused mysticism such as dreams and symbols to praise God and heaven. Because of "the discovery of man" and "the discovery of nature", humanist writers denied the absurdity of paying attention to the nihilistic kingdom instead of the reality of life in the Middle Ages. They love real life, go deep into life and show it. Humanistic literature shows the rich and colorful human life and reveals the complex realistic contradictions. Cervantes believes that literature should be "a mirror of life" and "only imitate nature, and nature is its only model". (2) Don Quixote is a pioneering work of modern European realistic novels. The novel revolves around Don Quixote's three trips. With his whereabouts, what he saw, heard and thought, he truly reflected the vast social life of Spain from 16 to the beginning of 17 century, exposed all kinds of ugliness and decay under the feudal system, and showed the author's sympathy for the people's suffering. There are various characters in the novel, such as shopkeepers, prostitutes, prisoners, dukes, ladies, peasant women, vendors, servants, priests, businessmen, hairdressers and shepherds. From fields to forests, from rural areas to cities, from inns to castles, from land to islands, we can all appreciate the urban and rural scenery and people's customs of Spain. The writer compares the ruling class with the broad masses of the people: on the one hand, it is the luxury of the rulers, and the aristocratic children seize women by power; On the other hand, tens of millions of peasants in Qian Qian were naked and hungry, thus criticizing the feudal system that oppressed the people. Don Quixote truly reflects the riddled and hopeless political situation in the Kingdom of Spain through concrete and vivid descriptions. The ideological basis of Don Quixote's Ranger Adventures is dissatisfaction with social reality. He hopes to have an ideal "golden age", but the real society is a "troubled time". So he was determined to change this ugly reality, and he was determined to "save all sufferings and experience all dangers", so we met Don Quixote full of humanistic ideals. Third, finally, talk about different understandings and understandings of Don Quixote's image. Don Quixote's personality is so complicated that readers in different times and countries may have different understandings of him. When Don Quixote was first published, people only regarded it as a funny story that made people laugh, a popular reading sold by a vendor. It was first noticed in Britain in the17th century. The English novelist Fielding emphasized the positive qualities of Don Quixote. He pointed out that although this character is ridiculous, it is also sympathetic and respectable. /kloc-In the 8th century, the French transformed Spanish knights into rational and moral French gentlemen. /kloc-In the 9th century, under the influence of romanticism, Don Quixote became a tragic figure, which was both ridiculous and pathetic.
