 Cervantes, Quixote, the quest
The historian La Souchère suggests that Christianity, as a result of the long struggle, was so strongly felt that Spaniards viewed any Christian as a brother regardless of their station in life (83).
However, when Don Quixote, the befuddled modern conquistador attacks a windmill, which he mistakenly believes is a giant, and is bested, Don Quixote quickly blames a magician for clouding his mind.
Don Quixote, of course, did not lack courage but was bested by forces which he did not understand and he was completely powerless to defeat.
