Don QuixoteIdealism vs. Realism

Parody• A parody is a humorous imitation of a literary

work that aims to illustrate the work’s shortcomings.

• A parody may imitate the plot, characters, or style of another work, but usually exaggerates those characteristics.

• As you read, think about why this work is a parody of chivalry and stories about knights.

Filling in the ‘ideal knight’• On what does a knight usually ride?

A trusty steed!

Ideal knight• What does a knight wear?

armor and chainmail!

Ideal knight• Who is a knight usually fighting to save? (In fairy

tales especially)

A damsel in distress or a fair lady!

Ideal knight• What/Who does every knight need for an

assistant? (Hint: Wart was this for Kay in the story we just read about King Arthur)

A young squire!

Ideal knight• Finally, what kind of enemy do we usually picture

a knight fighting? (Think of the end of the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty!)

A dragon!!

What to do with the ‘your version’ column

• For the last column, you should be filling in examples from your own life that would be equivalent. For example, if I was filling it in about me, I would say the following:

• trusty steed= my trusty mom car• armor= my black teacher pants• fair lady=my dog• trusty squire= my friends• dragon= outside negative influences
