The novel Don Quixote, by Miguel Cervantes, is an exploration into the idea of created reality. Cervantes, through the character of Don Quixote, illustrates to readers how we as human beings often make reality to be whatever we want it to be.

It all begins with his name. Don Quixote was not actually
Don Quixote: Don Quixote as written by Miguel de Cervantes is a fascinating story as it portrays fiction by subtly displaying it through realism. It is simultaneously a work of fiction and an analysis of fiction, or metafiction, meaning a fictional story revolving around a fictional story.

You can’t hide everything Complete mastery of a language is challenging for most people, but if one does master it, it can be useful in life. However, it is not in the case for Cyrano, the protagonist in the famous comedy, Cyrano de Bergerac, by Edmond Rostand. Cyrano is a French soldier who can create figurative language with a blink of an eye and De Guiche, Cyrano’s colonel, is also a witty person, but is not respected. In this play, Rostand argues that a person with the power of wit cannot conceal
