WHAT DID YOU ENJOY ON WEEK 6 ?
Is there a connection between don and the lord of the rings ?
I don’t know, the stringing together of multiple adventures throughout one truly epic journey happens in a similar style, I guess, and maybe the description of the woods and things too. It’s been forever since I read any of the Lord of the Rings books, the descriptions of nature/the woods in them are what I remember best–and those stuck out in Don Quixote this week as well. Not sure I would draw any further connection between the two, though as I said, it’s been a while since I read Lord of the Rings.
That was the comparison that struck me the woods ,also a magical feel in these last few chapters we ve read ,all the best stu
I’m enjoying the way Sancho starts to philosophize in the second part. His character seems to be evolving.
yes he seems to become a stronger character as the book moves on ,all the best stu
