Summary: "The History of Don Quixote, Volume 2, Part 21" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a classic novel written during the early 17th century, a time often seen as the Spanish Golden Age. This volume continues the adventures of the titular character, Don Quixote, a deluded nobleman who becomes obsessed with the idea of chivalry. His misguided adventures often involve a blend of comedy and tragedy as he struggles to navigate a world that does not align with his romantic notions of knight-errantry. In this part, the story follows Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza as they encounter a bizarre cart filled with characters from a play known as "The Cortes of Death." Don Quixote mistakenly believes it to be a dangerous adventure, only to discover that it is simply a theatrical troupe on their way to perform. After a series of misadventures, including a humorous conflict caused by a jester and a comically exaggerated duel with the Knight of the Mirrors—who turns out to be an acquaintance—Don Quixote’s misunderstandings with the world around him become increasingly evident. This reinforces the central theme of the clash between illusion and reality, showcasing Cervantes' critique of contemporary society through the lens of a knight-errant’s misguided beliefs.
