Chapter XV
After Quixote vanquishes Carrasco, he orders him to return
to Lady Dulcinea, give an account of what happened, and report back to Quixote
to give a description of her response; although it was Carrasco who had planned
along with the barber and curate to follow Quixote, challenge him, vanquish
him, and order him to return home for two years, in which time they should find
a solution for his madness if he did not forget his madness altogether on his
own. Instead it was Carrasco who was
defeated; and he went off to recover his injuries and plot a revenge on Don
Quixote.
Chapter XVI
Quixote, still believing Carrasco to be enchanted, continues
on when a gentleman, Don Diego de Miranda, joins him and Sancho. At first, Don Diego suspects Don Quixote to
be mad, but after Quixote gives a lengthy and deep monologue on children and their
studies, art, nature, and poetry, Diego is quite impressed and begins to
question his initial judgment of Quixote.
