Bonus:
Late, sleepy, cop out
Summaries:
Ch 1: Don Quixote reads too many chivalric romances and ruins his brain.
Ch 2: DQ goes to an inn (which he thinks is a castle).
Ch 3: He murders a guy and gets knighted.
Commentary: The narrator has no respect. No one does.
"his brains dried up, causing him to lose his mind."
Some whores laugh at him.
Based on the footnote, Dulcinea's given name is basically Becky.
The whole thing is written very "read aloud"ily (oral traditionally?)
I learned a new word: Varlet=scoundrel. (It used to me squire.)
I love this quote (pinched the Ormsby for easier copy-pasty):
where he had proved the nimbleness of his feet and the lightness of his fingers, doing many wrongs, cheating many widows, ruining maids and swindling minors, and, in short, bringing himself under the notice of almost every tribunal and court of justice in Spain
Such a fun book!
