Don Quixote's attack on the windmills is motivated by his fervent belief in the chivalric values of bravery, honor, and the pursuit of justice. He sees himself as a knight-errant, dedicated to righting wrongs and defending the helpless, even if it means fighting imaginary foes. This misguided interpretation of chivalry leads him to confront the windmills, which he perceives as giants threatening the innocent, reflecting his idealism and commitment to the chivalric code despite the absurdity of his actions. Ultimately, his quest embodies the struggle between noble ideals and the harsh realities of the world.

Man of La Mancha is a musical based on one of the most famous books in world history, Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes, written around 1600. In the book, an elderly but vigorous man who is fond of stories about knights in shining armour imagines himself to be such a knight and goes riding around looking for adventure. In his insanity he has to imagine that the world is like the tales of knights and so on, even though it is quite prosaic and ordinary. One of the first examples of his craziness occurs when he sees a field full of windmills and imagines that they are a group of giants waving their arms. He attacks the windmill on his horse but is knocked off by one of the sails of the mill. He is then surprised to find that the giants have magically transformed themselves into windmills.
