      @@kalm6778 It portraits many social types from that time, I don't think you can say one of the messages is that Spain was declining. It definitely criticizes aristocracy, but regular people too, although Cervantes was very careful in showing that within regular people you could always find good people... the salt of the Earth, we may say so. He was tough with Catholic church, but also with other social groups of the time, like lawyers... but at the same time he defended laws, for instance when Don Quixote frees the galley slaves. At first you think it's well done, because those people are convicted to a rowed ship, but then you realize that they were condemned because they were criminals, so, Don Quixote apparent justice act was in fact, appalling...
      And one of the points of the huge success of the novel in all Europe back then is that what Cervantes was describing in Spain, was happening in the other countries as well, if not exactly the same, probably worst... people realized that.
      The book is universal because all the issues treated in it happened everywhere. You can tell that many of those issues are still happening today. The book is still new, it's amazing.
      But the main message, the more general and abstract/philosophical message is precisely that an excess of 'imagination', uncontrolled idealism, always ends in a complete disaster. Cervantes wasn't an idealist at all. Some authors tried to connected him with Erasmus and humanism, but Cervantes thinking was, in fact, the opposite of that. He was a realistic man. It was during romanticism when many people started to say that El Quixote was a defense of idealism. Nothing further from reality

      @@JulioLeonFandinho Y sin embargo; a la muerte del hidalgo, Sancho ruega a su maestro que vuelvan al camino; y así el realista se aferra al idealismo mientras el idealista acepta la realidad. No hay duda en que el mensaje realista está ahí; pero comprendo que los idealistas también encuentren inspiración en el libro. Yo creo que en ultima instancia Cervantes aboga por un equilibrio o cuanto menos una coexistencia de ambos aspectos. El idealista no puede cambiar el mundo en el que se encuentra, por muchos molinos contra los que cargue; pero al mismo tiempo es el único capaz de ver verdades que los acérrimos realistas son incapaces de ver. Yo casi lo definiría como una defensa del idealismo desde un punto de vista relista... si es que eso tiene algún sentido XDD
      En verdad creo que si Cervantes hubiese abogado por un punto de vista puramente realista, Quijote hubiese muerto apaleado y desprovisto de gloria en una cuneta; y no como una trágica y melancólica figura que muere feliz y cuerdo habiendo sido capaz de inspirar su idealismo a una futura generación personificada en Sancho...
      No se, es lo que a priori me transmite a mi XDD

    I'm still only about 15 chapters into it, but the one thing I can say I've taken from it so far is that there always have been and always will be people who insist they were born in the wrong era. This begs the conclusion that there's nothing wrong with the time you're born into, but rather what you decide to do in that time.

      Back in high school they forced us to read this book. I hated it with a passion, I couldn't finish the first page.
      The exams were near and I refused to read it, my mom offered to read it out loud for me, I said yes. After the first chapter I realized I wasn't even understanding anything the words said.
      My native Spanish is very different from Spain's Spanish, and it's even more different than Spain's 1600's Spanish.
      I gave up, did the exams anyways and never read it.
      I think this book really killed any desire for me to read books. Six or seven years passed until I read the first book since my failed attempt at Don Quijote, I read Nietzche El Anticristo, I kept it hidden from my parents since they're deeply religious.
      Eight more years have passed since I read that and I've now created for me the habit of reading, it is so wonderful that I regret all those years wasted.
      Maybe someday I'll read Don Quijote.

    I feel like Don Quixote is a fantastic novel to read and explore for such an idealistic generation as the one I am in, Gen Z/Millenials. The novel offers a provoking dissection of both the potential of idealism and romanticism to be a boon to an individual’s world outlook and an inherently cynical society, as well as the drawbacks of less grounded thought and a general lack of realism. Super cool :)

Don Quijote and Sancho Panza, in the second book, encounter people that have read the first book and try to mess with them to 'recreate' and experience in real life what they read in said first book. They also make some reference (I don't remember how) to the false second part, published to make fun of the official first book (el Quijote de Avellaneda). See, Cervantes had some beef with Lope de Vega (another famous Spaniard author) so it is said that he's the author of the second false novel; he uses it to insult both cervantes and his work, and Cervantes retorts with the official second part

    It is very interesting to read it and to know both the time that Spain was passing through in the 17th century, and the life that Cervantes had (which is impressive). I read it as a teenager while I was studying literature (since it is almost 'mandatory' to at least know it in depth), the story grabs you little by little and doesn't let go until the end.
    Don Quixote will always be timeless because the feeling and what it transmits is recognizable in every human being. It is the force of love.

    The most important message from this book is “Vivir loco, morir cuerdo!” Which means live out your best life with no regret, only regret when you are about to die. Quijote died regretting acting on illusions and came to his senses on his last minutes but everyone else whom had been his acquaintance turned like him, with dreams and aspirations of being their greatest self and wanting Quijote to go back to his old self, the roles are reversed. You also forgot to mention how the second half was published under a fake Arabic author whom he created to avoid conflict with the church. Cervantes was just a straight genius.

    I remember reading a brief passage from it in grade school as a daily assignment and being like "ughh whatever.. let's get this over with already".
    Circle back 20 years later, and I'm reading the entire novel for the first time and loving every minute of it.
    I'm still not a huge reader, but this is one of the few novels I've ever finished. And it was a like 1500 page book or something. Written in like 1500 or something. Wild.

    I absolutely adore the Quixote. I'm studying it in college right now! I'm so glad you touched upon the meta-narrative aspect and how much of that influences how we read the novel even today--there's a lot of philosophy underlying it for sure. One thing that I always enjoy pointing out is that The Knight of the Sad/Melancholic/Sorrowful Countenance is but one of many translations you can offer; earlier editions actually went for Knight of the Unfortunate Countenance, which meant, you know, that he wasn't great-looking. Even little things like that can really colour how you view the character and the book (comical or tragical? a farcical satire or a poignant tale?) and that's all part of what makes this novel so great. :)

      @Arriaga Two I read it in Spanish too!! A lot of it does get lost in translation when you compare the English and Spanish editions, as the original is so rich in nuances that it's pretty damn near impossible to capture it all in a different language. It's definitely a testament to its dialectical greatness, like you said.

      Under which course are you reading it ? I'm an English Hons undergrad but till now, I never had Spanish literature.

      Wow, it's interesting to know the different ways in which "el Caballero de la Triste Figura" has been translated.
