when authors cant be bothered to write consistently, ugh
Was that the author or the translator?
Don Quixote is bad with a straight face
Don't ruin the joke, faggot
I know that this is a troll thread to get people to talk about Don Quixote, but honestly, stuff like that makes me love the book even more. It gives it a greater sheen of authenticity, of being a true (as in genuine/authentic, not that it happened in real life) story told for fun rather than obsessively whittled and pared to perfection until feeling is sucked out of it.
>tfw don't know if you're sincere
>tfw don't know if OP and people making fun of Cervantes are sincere
mexican intellectuals, everyone
kek
I liked this post then thought about it for a second longer and now I REALLY like this post
desu it can all be explained away since cervantes is only "translating" the arab :^)
You haven't read it, I see.
Cervantes would love the shit out of this thread.
Nah, just shitposting. There was a thread yesterday where someone said no one could say that, so everyone did
>The vomiting scene
Was done on purpose desu.
Flaubert had a similar error in Madame Bovary with that of the already pawned furniture being sold. Do not exaggerate.
It's Cervantes' own joke. Don Quixote is a character of a fictitious historical recollection and study. In the fictitious "history" being recollected throughout the novel, the part OP is referencing is a criticism of the inaccuracies in continuity in the history books of the time as well as Cervantes' having a bit of a meta joke at others' expense..
>When Sancho shits himself
>¿Qué rumor es ese, Sancho?
>the scene where dulcinela gets BLACK'D
No it isn't.
He makes it a meta joke later, but in this specific instance it is clearly an actual error (likely due to the leaving out of a certain part of the story).
>he makes it a meta joke later
What did he mean by this?
