Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho by Miguel de Unamuno
"Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho" by Miguel de Unamuno is an interpretative commentary written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on Miguel de Cervantes's classic characters, Don Quijote and Sancho Panza, providing a new exegesis of their story and the philosophical implications that arise from their adventures. Unamuno seeks to delve deeper into the essence of these characters, presenting them through a modern lens while preserving their intrinsic qualities.
The opening of this work serves as an introduction, establishing Unamuno's intent to explore the characters beyond Cervantes's original narrative. He draws upon the rich literary tradition surrounding Don Quijote and the societal context of his time, emphasizing an ongoing relevance. Unamuno highlights the lack of conventional biographical details in Don Quijote's life and focuses instead on the profound themes of honor, madness, and the quest for eternal significance that define the character. The first chapter outlines Don Quijote's backstory, establishing him as an idealist whose reading of chivalric tales fuels his noble yet misguided aspirations, setting the stage for the ensuing adventures and introspective dialogues that characterize the rest of the text.
