Always the gentleman, Don Quixote nevertheless accedes to the request to allow his hand to be introduced through the hole of the hayloft to the lady, “por poder deshogar con ella el gran deseo que a este agujero la ha traído, tan a peligro de su honor” (I.43, 527).
Don Quixote is unable to effect his burning desire for conquests, and this failing is depicted visually in the form of broken and “dulled” lances in the novel.
Don Quixote's lance is first destroyed in the episode of the Toledo traders (I.4, 101), where a muleteer not only shatters it, but to add insult to injury, he beats the knight severely with one of its pieces.

 The Washington Diplomat
“Don Quixote” the book was every bit as big and monumental an achievement as anything produced in Europe in its time: It was one of the first novels, and it dealt with complicated themes of modernism, cynicism, idealism, fashion, literature, fiction versus reality, idealism versus practicality and opportunism versus goodness of heart.
