2. Don QuioteII is more tightly structured and more psychologically penetrating than Part I. There is a clear trajectory: Don Quixote and Sancho head for Zaragoza, but Don Quixote changes his mind -see chapter 59 below-- and they proceed to Barcelona before returning home. There are virtually no interpolated tales, farce is much reduced and Don Quixote and Sancho are central to the whole development of Part II. 3. 1. The priest and barber visit Don Quixote. Heappears to be sane until the priest questions him onwhat the king should do against a perceived Turkishthreat. Don Quixotes replies that the king should callon all the knights-errant in Spain to defeat theTurks. Don Quixote makes a passionate defence ofknight-errantry and insists that knights-errant reallyexisted. He even gives a description of some,including Amads of Gaul. 4. El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha. 2. Sancho Panza appears. Don Quixote asks him what people are saying about him. Sancho also informs Don Quixote that a student from the village Sansn Carrascohas told him that a book has been published about their adventures, with the title 5. Sancho urges Don Quixote to go out on a third sally, and he will accompany him provided he does not have to fight. Wants to be known as the most loyal squire to have ever served a knight-errant. Sansn suggests they head to Zaragoza to participate in some jousts. 6. Conversation between Sancho and his wife, Teresa. Sancho talks of marrying their daughter to someone important if he becomes a governor; his wife objects, saying she should marry someone of her social status. Sancho ends by correcting his wifes language (as Don Quixote has done with him!) 7. Conversation between Don Quixote and hisniece. He defends knight-errantry following herassertion that all knights were fictitious. Sanchoasks Don Quixote for a salary. Don Quixote hasnever heard of knights-errant paying theirsquires, and he refuses, telling Sancho that he canfind plenty of squires whereupon SansnCarrasco turns up and offers himself as squire!Sancho capitulates 8. Set off on third sally. First, Don Quixote wants tocall at El Toboso to see Dulcinea. Arrive at El Tobosoat night. Cant find Dulcineas palace. Sanchopersuades Don Quixote to wait outside the villagewhile he looks for Dulcinea. Sancho sees three villagegirls on donkeys, and tells Don Quixote that Dulcineais approaching accompanied by two ladies-in-waiting.Don Quixote is puzzled because he can only see threeugly, garlic-smelling peasant girls. After a disastrousencounter, he rationalises that Dulcinea has beentransformed by some evil enchanters (who havealways persecuted him). 9. Incident with the actors. Don Quixote is perplexed andcomments on the dangers of appearances. He acceptsSanchos advice not to attack the actors because they arenot knights. Don Quixote battles with the Knight of the Mirrors (alsocalled the Knight of the Forest). Against all odds, hesucceeds in defeating him. His adversary turns out to beSansn Carrasco, who had dressed up as knight, confidentthat he would defeat Don Quixote and therefore oblige himto return to thevillage. Result: Don Quixotecontinueshisresolvestrengthened after his victory (againrationalizes that the Knight of the Mirrors was made tolook like Sansn Carrasco by those enchanters!).Meanwhile, an angry Sansn Carrasco swears vengeance. 10. Meets Don Diego de Miranda, Knight of the Green Coat. Each narrates his life story to the other. Adventure of the Lion. Don Quixote against all advice orders the door to the cage opened and awaits the lions challenge, but all it does is yawn and turn its back to him.Arrive at Don Diegos house. Conversation with Don Diegos son about poetry. Decide to continue to Zaragoza, but first Don Quixote wants to visit the Cave of Montesinos. They meet two students and two peasants on donkeys. Students tell them they are on the way to an arranged wedding between Camacho and Quiteria. The wealthy Camacho, however, has a rival, Basilio. Don Quixote and Sancho decide to accompany them. 11. . The wedding. How Basilio tricks them all and ends up marrying Quiteria. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza discuss marriage before heading for the Cave of Montesinos. Descent into and return from the cave. Don Quixote describes what he saw in the cave. All those he met there including Dulcinea-- were enchanted and awaiting him as their disenchanter. Montesinos was to let Don Quixote know how he would do this. This cheered Don Quixote enormously. The only dissonant note was that Dulcinea through one of her maids-- had asked him for a loan. 12. Don Quixote and Sancho meet a soldier goingoff to war and a man carrying lances and halberdsto his village. Don Quixote and Sancho stop at aninn where the man carrying arms tells them whyhe is doing so. Introduces tale of the lost donkeyand the braying aldermen. Arrival of Maese Pedroand his prophesying ape. Don Quixote asks MaesePedro if the ape can tell him whether what he sawin the Cave of Montesinos was real or a dream. 13. Don Quixote and Sancho meet don Alvaro Tarfe at an inn. Don Alvaro is a major character from the false Part II who, after talking to our Don Quixote and Sancho, agrees to swear before the local mayor and sign a document confirming that they are indeed the real Don Quixote and Sancho Panza Final return to the village. Don Quixote tells the priest and barber that he intends to become a shepherd for a year until he can return to his chivalric life
