The story

What Is Don Quixote About?

The premise of Don Quixote without spoilers.

The story follows a deluded hidalgo who, obsessed with chivalric romances, convinces himself he is the knight‑errant Don Quixote de La Mancha. Accompanied by his loyal peasant squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on imagined quests—tilting at windmills, rescuing maidens, and pursuing his ideal lady Dulcinea—while Sancho dreams of a governorship on an island reward.
