CLIFFS NOTES - DON QUIXOTE

BOOK THREE
Chapter I

Giving an Account of Don Quixote's Unfortunate Rencounter with Certain Bloody-


Minded and Wicked Yanguesian Carriers During the search for Marcella, Don
Quixote and Sancho rest and eat in a pleasant meadow. Their beasts graze nearby.
Meanwhile some Galician (Yanguesian) carriers have rested their herd of mares in
the same grazing area, and Rosinante, usually so chaste and modest, begins to
pay gallant court within the herd.

The carriers are furious and with their staves and poles beat the poor horse until
he sinks to the ground. Don Quixote rushes to the rescue and Sancho, despite his
better judgment, fights at his side. The odds are two against twenty.

The carriers have soon beaten the knight and squire so badly that they (the
carriers) flee with their mares rather than be accused of murder.

Still too sore to move, Don Quixote and Sancho have a long discussion, the squire
maintaining a position of absolute pacifism, while his master upholds the nobility
of violent defense. They manage at last, however, to limp their way toward an inn,
which the knight declares is a castle.

CLIFFS NOTES - DON QUIXOTE

LIBRO TERCERO
Capítulo I

Relato del desdichado encuentro de don Quijote con ciertos arrieros


yangueses, sanguinarios y malvados Durante la búsqueda de Marcela, don
Quijote y Sancho descansan y comen en un prado agradable. Sus bestias
pastan cerca. Mientras tanto, algunos arrieros gallegos (yangueses) han
dejado descansar su manada de yeguas en el mismo lugar de pastoreo, y
Rocinante, habitualmente tan casto y modesto, comienza a hacer la corte
galante dentro de la manada.

Los arrieros están furiosos y con sus palos y varas golpean al pobre
caballo hasta que se desploma en el suelo. Don Quijote corre al rescate y
Sancho, a pesar de su mejor juicio, lucha a su lado. Las probabilidades son
dos contra veinte.

Los arrieros pronto han golpeado al caballero y al escudero tan mal que
ellos (los arrieros) huyen con sus yeguas para no ser acusados de
asesinato.

Aún demasiado doloridos para moverse, Don Quijote y Sancho mantienen


una larga discusión, el escudero mantiene una posición de absoluto
pacifismo, mientras que su amo defiende la nobleza de la defensa violenta.
Sin embargo, al final logran avanzar cojeando hacia una posada, que el
caballero declara que es un castillo.

ESTRADA HERNÁNDEZ, ERNESTO.
