It depicts a nobleman who reads so many romantic adventure novels that he decides to become a knight.\xa0\n\nIn pt. 1, we read chapter one, where Don Quixote decides to become a knight, and sets about in preparation for his adventure: he fashions a homemade suit of armor and cardboard, names his old frail horse, \u201cRocinante\u201d, and officially proclaims a pretty village girl named Aldonza Lorenzo to be in knightly love with. He renames her Dulcinea del Toboso. He has never actually met her and she may or may not actually exist.\xa0\n\n\xa0\u2014 read by 'V' \u2014\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
