"Tilting at windmills" by Gustave Dore .
When Don Quixote attacks the windmill, his lance gets caught in the sail, causing him to be violently thrown from his horse. This event serves as a humorous and ironic moment in Miguel de Cervantes's novel "Don Quixote," highlighting the disconnect between Don Quixote's delusional chivalric ideals and the reality of his surroundings.

The branch Don Quixote selects to replace the shattered lace is a thorny acacia branch, which is incongruous because it is spiky and rigid, unlike a lace which is delicate and soft. This reflects Don Quixote's disconnect from reality and his tendency to see ordinary objects in a distorted way.
Sancho Panza is often considered to be Don Quixote's foil. Sancho is practical, down-to-earth, and focused on the realities of life, serving as a contrast to Don Quixote's idealistic and often impractical view of the world. Their dynamic highlights the contrast between romanticism and pragmatism.
The branch Don Quixote selects to replace his shattered lance is actually just a common, dried-up pig's tail. This replacement is incongruous because it lacks the grandeur and symbolism of a proper knight's lance, highlighting Don Quixote's misguided quest as a delusional knight errant.
Don Quixote's horse is Rocinante.

Don Quixote explains that the enchanter Friston turned the giants into windmills to rob him of his glory in battle. He believes that Friston did this to take away the recognition for his heroic act of defeating the giants, ultimately maintaining his delusion that he was fighting giants.
