Don Quixote – Chapter V – Summary: Chapter 5 feels like the moment illusion completely takes over, even when reality keeps trying to drag him back.
He is injured, confused, and lying on the ground, yet continues speaking in stories as if he is someone else.
Even when he is taken home, the world around him sees madness, while he remains completely inside his own narrative.
It made me think how once a story becomes identity, it doesn’t disappear when reality hits — it only adapts.
