 Garganuta und Pantagruel von Rabelais - Zusammenfassung
Gargantua (vom altfranzösischen gargante, Gurgel), im keltischen Volksmärchen ein unersättlicher Fresser und Säufer, wird hier als Sohn des Grandgoschier während eines Zechgelages geboren, brüllt gleich bei seinem Eintritt in die Welt, dass er zu trinken haben wolle, und wird von 17913 Kühen gesäugt, sintemal keine Amme den Nahrungsbedarf des Helden stillen kann.
Gargantua wird nun den Händen eines anderen "modernen" Lehrers überantwortet, mit dem er nach Paris zieht.
Wir erleben Geburt und Jugendtaten des Helden, sehen auch ihn, wie seinen Vater, nach Paris ziehen, hören in einem Brief Gargantuas von dem Unterschied der Zeit und der Erziehung und wundern uns nicht, wenn auch Pantagruel schließlich eines Krieges wegen in die Heimat zurückbeordert wird und wenn er allerlei Kämpfe und Abenteuer da besteht.

 Rabelais
The focus by Gargantua’s teacher upon memorization, as opposed to analysis, is in direct opposition to the thinkers of the Renaissance.
Gargantua’s study habits were no better: “Then he would study for a miserly half-hour, or there-abouts, with his eyes fixed on his book.
Evident from this desperation, as portrayed in the endless thirst of Gargantua to be enlightened, Rabelais seems to suggest that the Renaissance scholars and Humanists are overwhelmed and should recognize that their own school of thought, like that of Medieval scholars is transitory, and in a sense, a futile attempt to understand the world.
