Remember how reluctantly Cervantes says farewell to his Don Quixote, who has been on his deathbed, and who has, at the last moment, renounced his knight errantry. |
The knight errant had heard the canon's question, and he offered to give him the information if he knew anything about errantry. |
Amadas finds himself financially embarrassed, and sets forth for seven years of errantry with only forty pounds in hand. |
Direction, errantry, exile, and the changes that accompany displacement in time and space, are recurrent themes throughout the novel. |
And when peace was on the land, he went about on errantry, jousting in tournaments and fighting champions. |
All this seems true to Cervantes's aim of exposing the absurdity of knight errantry, while conveying the holy madness of his hero. |
