The development in this great work is magnificent and intense; however, this song is super relaxing and light, I chose it mainly because I enjoy its rhythm and melody the first time I heard it.
This song is compromised iconic scenes in Don Quixote. The symbols in Don Quixote, like the horse, windmills and books, could be references in both Chivalrous ages, the 20th century when the song was written, or today.
“He is wild but he is mellow; he is strong but he is weak; he is cruel but he is gentle; he is wise but he is meek.” The lyrics show how controversial Don Quixote is. He embraces so many characteristics, and I think he is a real human with beliefs in honor and love. I highly admire idealist who has the pure sense of calling and extraordinary courage especially in this materialism modern society that we are more focusing on the benefits and costs. Idealism makes Don Quixote happy, and it is the reason for him to live.
It is after all the weird behaviors of Don Quixote, ups and downs of plots that we readers came back to ponder who is Don Quixote in our mind. This is not a tragedy but a comic, when Don Quixote fights with the windmill, I believe he has a sense of fulfillment, which is the reason Don Quixote lives for. This comic in some way I view it as a tragedy since Don Quixote he denied all his deeds and chivalry before his death.
