Don Quixote and AHF...my thoughts of connection
Getting to last Tuesday's discussion about the relation of Don Quixote and AHF....I did read in depth Don Quixote last year in my Spanish class and I immediately noticed some relationship between the story we are reading now in class (AHF). The characters in DQ believe that books are supposed to only tell the truth, therefore, should have a censorship so they don't corrupt the minds of foolish people, like Don Quixote. He becomes subdued by the books of chilvary and they influence his everyday life, like Tom Sawyer and his books in AHF. The way Tom Sawyer and Don Quijote play out what they read in their books is very similar. No one else seems to understand them, nor do they seem to understand anyone around them. The books for both characters provide sort of a fun outlet and spice to their dull and boring lives. Interesting? uh yeah!
