/lit/ - Literature

On Don Quixote himself, if we discount his lunacy then we have at our hands a perfect literary character, I'd go so far as to say that Don Quixote is the ideal character. One who lives for an idea, sees extravagance in everyday life, treats himself and the ones around him with grandeur. A person can only become obsessed with these ideals when their everyday life is lacklustre, and we can all relate to that.
