The main character of Don Quixote took nine days to come up with a name for himself, ultimately choosing the name "Don Quixote de la Mancha" to reflect his newfound identity as a knight errant.
Don Quixote blames himself for waiting so long to ride out because he feels regret for not pursuing his knightly adventures sooner and fulfilling his chivalric dreams. He realizes that time has passed and he has wasted years not living up to the ideals of a knight errant.
Don Quixote's long lost love is Lady Dulcinea del Toboso, whom he idealizes as the epitome of beauty and virtue throughout Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote." Despite having never met her, Don Quixote constantly seeks to perform heroic deeds in her honor.
Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) usually receives credit for writing the first modern novel, Don Quixote (1605 and 1615). A novel is a long, fictional narrative, written in prose (not poetry) in which the author depicts characters and events in a realistic manner. Don Quixote, which fits this description, tells the story of a gentleman landowner named Alonzo Quitana, who imagines himself a medieval knight Don Quixote and becomes embroiled in numerous adventures with his sidekick Sancho Panza. Considered a masterpiece, the work inspired later writers to write adventure novels. Today the word "quixotic" describes someone who is foolishly romantic or idealistic, like the character Don Quixote.
