Analysis: Chapters LXVII–LXXIV
Once Don Quixote renounces chivalry, he ceases to exist.After much digression on his way home, he unexpectedly has a boutof sanity and dies, as though the chivalric knight within him cannot liveand breathe once he returns to a world whose values are differentfrom his own. Don Quixote dreams for one night of being a shepherdand wakes a week later recanting everything that has come before—anact that may devalue many of the novel’s adventures. Benengeli impliesthis devaluation when he writes about the dubious nature of theincident at Montesinos’s Cave. Not even the apparently earnest attemptsof Don Quixote’s friends to make him rise and roam the countrysideas a shepherd inspire him to live.

Though this last-ditch effort to asserthis honor may seem pathetic in light of his recent defeat by theKnight of the White Moon and his plans to retire, it displays DonQuixote’s sincere nature.
