? Don Quixote is an anti-knight novel published by Spanish writer Cervantes. In Don Quixote, satire is often included in the works because of its anti-knight theme and purpose. Don Quixote presents a funny comedy for readers by describing the behavior of the protagonist Don Quixote and his followers who are obsessed with knight novels, and at the same time strongly satirizes the absurdity of knight novels. However, behind the comedy appearance of Don Quixote, it is still a tragedy.

? On their second trip, Don Quixote and Sancho met thirty or forty windmills in the countryside. Don Quixote, on the other hand, regarded them as thirty or forty giants and wanted to go to the first world war. Although Sancho shouted that it was a windmill to stop him, his mind was full of monsters and things like that, and he ignored it. He pounced on the first windmill and inserted his spear into its wings. But the windmill threw him out with his horse and people. Thanks to Sancho's help, he finally stood up. Fighting Windmills is one of Don Quixote's crazy classic passages, which satirizes the scene of encountering giants in knight novels. The giants in knight novels are all so huge, but it is obviously impossible for the protagonist to go up and fight with them and win. In the article, not to mention giants, even windmills that don't take the initiative to attack can make Don Quixote fall. This fully shows that it is unrealistic for the knight to defeat the giant, and also shows that Don Quixote is so addicted to knight novels that he simply doesn't listen to other people's objections and even turns a blind eye to the facts in front of him. Don Quixote's "courage" against the windmill is a funny comedy, which shows us his stupidity and stubbornness.

? However, from another perspective, this scene is also a tragedy. Don Quixote is a man who is steadfast in his ideals. He doesn't want to accept the status quo of the world-there is no knight who defends justice, so he has the courage to dedicate himself and try his best to fight against "evil forces". Even though there were thirty or forty giants ahead, and he was just a squire who lacked exercise, he bravely rushed up and took the initiative to attack, using his own weapons as a knight-pike and knight's road. Isn't this a sign of courage? Although Don Quixote's excellent quality, courage, firmness, courage to try, etc. It is all because of failure that it is covered up in his ridiculous practice. There is no denying that Don Quixote is a failure hero who dares to try. However, Don Quixote, as a hero and a man who insists on his beliefs, has repeatedly hit a wall, been laughed at by passers-by, defeated by windmills and opposed by relatives and friends. He persisted until his death. Before he died, he finally woke up and gave up the reality. This once brave soldier was finally defeated by the cruel reality, understood his powerlessness, lost all hope and finally died tragically. This is a thought-provoking tragedy.

? Don Quixote began to be mad and finally woke up; Starting from the ideal, losing to reality. The book Don Quixote deserves our careful appreciation.
