Don Quixote

Don Quixote is a satire which is captivated with the idea of being a knight. Quixote regularly tries to represent the hero and ends up causing even more trouble. From the beginning, Don Quixote's conscious efforts to be undoubtedly a noble knight are foolish. His title character "unluckily stumbled upon the oddest fancy that ever entered into a madman's brain," which is to instantly become a wandering knight.Don Quixote does many terrible things throughout the story as an attempt to be a hero, like attacking friars he believes to be enchanters, relaying convicts from a chain gang as he believes no one should be chained and attacking villagers on a parade under the impression they are kidnappers. The irony is typically shown through the practical use of the iconic characters. “I shall never be fool enough to turn knight-errant. For I see quite well that it’s not the fashion now to do as they did in the olden days when they say those famous knights roamed the world”. Don Quixote is fundamentally incapable of accurately distinguishing divine truth from fiction. The innkeeper has been intentionally trying to convince him books of chivalry are not true. He states he will never try to live like Don Quixote because he realizes that being a knight is outdated. This is precisely what undoubtedly inspires Sancho to promptly return to his wife and children because knight-errantry has fallen out of modern fashion. The irony comes through the encouragement of others to have Don Quixote maintain the life he occupies that causes joy to him. As well as, the duke and duchess pretending to be of more superior status than those around them. Which she undoubtedly gains unspeakable joy from the deliberate lies that she is convincingly portraying to Sancho. Just like Sancho, his extensive use of comic satire is what traditionally makes his irony towards Don Quixote believable when he represents the hero he was always meant to be.

Enlightenment is an conscious awareness that typically brings change. It is an moral awakening to an brilliant idea/mindset of adequately providing superior knowledge to others through personal experience within our independence that ultimately turns a fundamental belief to a personal knowing. Enlightenment is presently used in the literacy work of Journey to the West, Tripitaka and his men go through a journey to defeat the evils of their world. When going through these journeys, they continuously encounter a change where they grow to be free from the tyranny of the consciousness. "Do you think an ordinary horse would be able to cross the thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the Buddha−land on the Vulture Peak? Only a dragon horse will be able to do it." He is unaware of the monk's identity he transfigures himself into a horse to serve the people on the journey of knowledge. Buddhism, enlightenment is traditionally about the absolute truth. In which ultimately releases one's self from the ideal cycle of reincarnation. Tripitaka is pure in spirit yet still has many flaws no matter if he was a sinner or not in search for enlightenment. He is absolutely dependent on his men for he feels as though without him he would under no circumstances be the man he is destined to be. “In an earlier life you were my second disciple and called Master Golden Cicada. But because you would not listen to my sermon on the Dharma and had no respect for my great teaching, I demoted your soul to be reborn in the East. Now, happily, you have come over to the faith and rely on our support; and in following our teaching your achievement in fetching the true scriptures has been very great. Your reward will be to be promoted to high office as the Candana−Punya Buddha."Every so often one may feel a weight lifted off their shoulders, they may have identified a modern way of life. Ultimately, it is to benefit himself for his foreseeable future.

Love is unpowerful in the Inferno. However, it is even so a strong force in Dante's epic. Dante makes a journey through eternal hell because of how much love he undoubtedly has for Beatrice. Beatrice is Dante’s beloved who is presently in heaven and cherishes him enormously. She voluntarily left heaven because of the love she has for Dante. As Dante goes through hell, he is continually motivated to prolong his frightening journey by some poetic form of unconditional love, whether for Beatrice, Virgil, or God. “Beatrice am I, who thy good speed beseech;Love that first moved me from the blissful place
 Whither I'd fain return, now moves my speech”Even in the grand entrance to everlasting hell it carefully specifies that hell was intentionally created by God, which he adequately described it as "the power, and the unsearchable/high wisdom, and the primal love supernal," God's is the original love and is in large part the superior force behind hell and the entire plot of Dante's poem. While Dante has multiple forms of love throughout the poem such as a love of wealth and power.Which ultimately drives many souls to knowingly commit multiple sins. Some sinners who gave into excessive lust. “Love, that so soon takes hold in the gentle breast, Took this lad with the lovely body they tore From me; the way of it leaves me still distress.” Dante sees Francesca da Rimini, who fell in love with her husband's younger brother, Paolo and was intentionally killed by her husband. The sinners follow lust and desire, rather than genuine love that Dante and Beatrice posses. Also in Dante's hell represent a prominent figure of Greek mythology Myrrha loved her father excessively and in the inappropriate way. Which hell is also filled with those who did not love their own families or nations enough. Many of the sinners pursued an unpleasant love or desire instead of the one love that, for Dante, matters most: the love of God. By contrast, Dante's love for Beatrice is virtuous, because it steers him closer to God's love, rather than further away from it.
