Like everyone, i was extremely sad reading the end of Don Quixote. For well all know that he must die, but none of us want him to remorse, or change his ways.

I realize though, that in order to completely kill there character. It is essential that Cervantes kills the character completely.

As Cervantes says, "let the weary and crumbling bones of Don Quixote rest in the grave, and not attempt, contrary to all statutes of death, to carry them off to Castilla"

It is hard to accept Don Quixote's fate, but death was never meant to be an easy subject. And in death he must be completely dissolved, or he would never truly die. In this way were are prohibited from adding anymore to the story than there already is. As we said in class, we can't make something mean anything we want it to mean. And in Don Quixote's case, all that he means was stated by Cervantes-even though we can see many things in that text- we are not allowed to add anything. thus the complete destruction of Don Quixote.
