Creative writing proposal - Essay Example

Don Quixote Today I have spent a lot of time reading books on conquest and heroism. I am deeply obsessed with the ideas I have been receiving from a number of books that I have managed to read over the past few years. Finally I have decided to rise to the occasion today so as to defend the weak in the society by taking up my long sword. The first adventure has just failed and so I have to set off for another one together with Sancho Panza who is close friend and a worker. I have managed to convince Sancho to accompany me to search for a new adventure.

I have made a promise to him that he will be the governor of an Isle upon the completion of the task. Due to Sancho’s desire to become wealthy, he has blatantly agreed to accompany me. So we ride the roads of Spain in search of glory and grand adventure and I have given up food, shelter, and comfort, to a peasant woman, Dulcinea del Toboso, whom I envision as a princess. My inner desire to become a hero drives me out of my way and that is why I have easily gives up all most of my wealth to the wicked in the society.

On my next expedition I have modeled myself into a bandit as opposed to my earlier view of presenting myself as saviour of the people. “Are we still on the right track sir?” asks Sancho Panza who wonders if I have lost my passion and will to assist the poor and the needy in the society. “Yes we are still on track, however, the method has to be changed so as to avoid failure” I answered him. He however seems not convinced at all that we were still headed in the same direction as we had set off our journey.

I have given up on a number of my ideals though I am not ready to admit it. I have to leave a young boy with an evil farmer because he has sworn an oath with me that he will not harm the innocent boy. That sounds convincing enough as I do not want to harm any anyone. I have just witnessed the death of a student who has died due to his love for a disdainful lady that turned into a shepherdess. I have managed to rescue a slave known as Gines de Pasamonte as well as uniting two couples who had initially separated.

Cardenio and Lucinda, and Ferdinand and Dorothea had no serious cause to separate and I find it easy to bring them back together due to my great convincing ability. I have thus achieved number of my inner desires though I still yearn for more. People have begun to perceive me as a savior of mankind and that brings a lot of joy to me. Sancho informs me that an evil enchanter has transformed Dulcinea into a peasant girl and I am deeply moved by the news. Undoing the enchantment becomes my next big goal that has to be achieved in the next few hours.

However, I fail to achieve it as soon as I realize that it had been a lie. I meet the Duke and the Duchess who decided to play a trick on me and marks the end of my conquest as I come to the realization that it had all been a dream not a reality.
