Analysis of the Character of “Don Quixote”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper analyzing the character of Don Quixote including his relationship with Sancho Panza. When Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra wrote “The Adventures of Don Quixote” in 1604 and 1616, he did not have much compassion for his central character’s “impossible dreams”. Despite this however, Cervantes wrote the character of Don Quixote as a combination of a man who was compassionate, chivalrous, independent, pure, true in his friendships and trustworthy while at the same time as being a dreamer, obsessive, imaginative, unrealistic and insane. In his relationships with those around him, especially with his companion Sancho Panza, the reader can tell that Quixote has always been respected and well liked because of the care and respect his friends have for him in their attempt to prevent him from harming himself. Sancho allows for Quixote to live with his dreams originally based on promises made to him by Quixote but eventually in Sancho enjoying in the adventures himself. Overall, the character of Quixote is admired and well liked by the readers who not only enjoy reading of his adventures but realize that he is a man of ideals and high morals during a time when not many men were described as such.

Antunes/Character Development in 2 Novels
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page essay. Antonio Lobo Antunes, contemporary Portuguese author, writes in a style that is very reminiscent of the psychologically complex novels of Faulkner or Dos Passos. In both Act of the Damned and The Natural Order of Things, Antunes presents perceptually complicated narratives that offer a cacophony of voices through the medium of jumbled interior monologues that encompass, simultaneously, both action happening in the current time and a host of memories. The following examination of these novels focuses on the development of two characters from each narrative, detailing their psychological orientation and the role that they fulfill within the context of each novel.

[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length.

Pepe represents the antiestablishment 'villain' who is not only proud of his personal – if not entirely outsider – beliefs, but he does not hesitate to express them, much to the chagrin of community outrage.

Berceo/Virgin Mary as Mother/Religious Symbol
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that discusses this thirteenth century poetry. Gonzalo de Berceo, thirteenth century Spanish poet, focused on the subject of the Virgin Mary and her importance to Christian worship in his text Milagros de Nuestra Senora (Miracles of Our Lady). Berceo begins with an elaborate allegory that pictures him as a pilgrim finding a field that he describes in a manner that immediately equates it with Paradise and the Garden of Eden. In this new "Eden," it is Mary who is the new "Eve." This allegorical beginning is the principal theme of Berceo's work, as he describes Mary as the central symbol of the new age brought about by Christianity. Just as Eve caused the downfall of humanity, the Virgin is instrumental in its redemption. No additional sources cited.
