STEP 1: Open Discussion Board link. Click on “Create Thread” and enter your name for “subject”. Type a brief paragraph in which you share your thoughts on ONE the following reflective questions: Throughout Part One of Don Quijote, the narration of the story is constantly interrupted. What is the source of this narrative pause, and why do these interruptions create an instability in the narrative process? Who is the REAL narrator of Don Quijote, and can they be trusted? Consider how Quijote perceives the chivalric novels he reads. Does he think of them as just stories? For example, recall the way Quijote interrupts the puppet show in Part Two, chapter 26. Can he clearly distinguish literature from life? When are today’s readers most vulnerable to this same confusion between literature and reality? Consider the episode where Quijote finally “sees” Dulcinea. Think about their actions and reactions. How are the characters (Dulcinea, Quijote, and Sancho) portrayed in this episode, and how does this scene play into the novel’s message on idealism? How does “The Cave of Montesinos” episode depict the struggle between the real and the ideal, especially as a struggle between Alfonso Quijano (the practical realist) and don Quijote (the uncompromising idealist)?
