Description of the image of Sancho Panza. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza

So, first I want to clarify the situation..ru

Lazy - does not quite correctly reflect me. lazy people a lot, a lot, a lot. Almost every person can say (and says) that he is lazy. I'm also lazy, I'm too lazy to wipe the dust off the monitor, throw out the garbage that accumulates in the room for the second day and starts to smell. But far from being the laziest is a fact. In some things, I can be very productive, but lying on the couch all day and spitting at the ceiling or watching TV shows is not about me. Other bullshit is more suitable for me - procrastination, perfectionism, idiocy, alcoholism. And I have no right to use the name "lazy".

It’s just that at the time of starting the blog, I had the lenivij.ru domain registered. There were several more options, but this one seemed the most successful - a short, memorable domain. From him he began to dance. I simply didn’t have enough brains for something more interesting and I tried to drag the idea of ​​a lazy webmaster by my ears, which eventually began to cause discomfort.

And besides, he understood that there is a legendary Lazy bum and being called a Lazy webmaster is bad manners. And it turned out that he was not the only one who called himself that.

In general, sometimes thoughts began to appear about moving to something else, but there was no idea what. The day before yesterday I was sitting in a Thai cafe with a beer and I remembered something about Don Quixote, which I never finished reading as a child, because it was boring. So there was his servant Sancho Panza. For those who are called Sanko in the non-virtual space, you can occasionally hear "Sancho" or "Sancho Pancho" in your direction. Wikipedia gave me that this character, despite his simplicity and naivety, was quite a cunning and self-serving little man who wanted money and fame. And he was also not a fool to drink, eat, sleep, and even hit on a skirt. In addition, he was bearded, poor and rather lazy. Well, just me.

Not to say that it's fucking original, but within the webmaster blogosphere - at least unique.

Yesterday I registered a domain, and today, in fact, I moved it. In technical terms, everything remained in place. A full redirect has been made from the last blog here. Nothing was lost, thanks to the file engine everything was transferred on its own very quickly and without hassle. The RSS feed will remain the same, Twitter is new, but no one subscribed to the old one either. So, purely to be.

There will be no changes in the blogging format either. Whoever fiercely hates all my vysers, he, accordingly, will not find anything here either. Who cares about my writings, well, I hope, I will continue to give out something from time to time. Or maybe I already signed up, xs.

Here, in a good way, it would be necessary to arrange a contest of some kind for 20 bucks (yes, I can afford it). For example, who will spam me more in the comments, or who will zaebenit more obscene rhyme. But alas, I won't do it.

Oh yeah, Sancho Pancho is mostly cake. But I'm not really a cake...

No wonder they burned Cervantes yes, yes. At the beginning of this film, the priest and the pharmacist send all the books about knights to the fire, not forgetting the creation of Cervantes for a snack. Here is a great hint from the writers of what the fireproof classic will turn into thanks to their dissolutely superficial work on this film.

To summarize the book about gallant knight Don Quixote and his squire will be released approximately the same film, but a kilo smarter, half a kilo more romantic and 200 grams more tragic. The film succeeded only in the embodiment of characters an excellent selection of actors, type and temperament at their best. Of course, it was not lucky to find the true Rosinate in the film - a miserable and skinny nag like the owner, but these are trifles, against the backdrop of Italian Spain.

There is too much Italian - and the manner of the comedy plot (commedia dell'arte) and the characters are more suitable for a farce theater, where Don Quixote is Piero, and Sancho Panza is Arlecchino. An ode to Malvina (that is, Dulcinea Toboskoy) sounded almost to the point and in the text, but .. Dulcinea existed, and then Don Quixote himself admits his abnormality and says that he invented this beautiful lady. What about pizza? Where did pizza come from on the table of a poor Spanish peasant woman. Perhaps this is such an opaque humor was in the film.

Too little exalted romanticism. After all, the works of Cervantes are simply saturated with poetic ideals and romantic stories about unfortunate lovers. This film should be renamed "Sancho Panza and his master the Knight of the Sad Image called Don Quixote" Long, but in the style of Cervantes. Alas, there are many jokes and pantomimes, many absurdities and antics, but there is very little poetry and loftiness and madness of Don Quixote! Few misadventures and fractures, few misfortunes and trials. But this is precisely the core of the entire immortal creation, resoluble, like instant coffee in this film, called a film adaptation.

The main and most important scene, the battle with the windmills, was frankly cheaply filmed. The scenery is small, implausible and the editing tore out pieces of the scene. Big fail for the movie. It was the theme of the fight against windmills that became a symbol of empty and insane accomplishments. But the producers did not sell cheap on eggs - swallowing eggs is the main focus of the film, a kind of cheap clowning to the delight of the public.

I will note only a couple of successful moments of the film - an imaginary feast in the barn and Don Quixote's night duty.

Epilogue. Open and pretentious, even beautifully symbolic. It doesn't matter what is not according to the book, the main thing was to put Exclamation point after a fictional happy ending.

Roman Miguel Cervantes "The Cunning Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha", Don Quixote's squire. Throughout the novel, he actively uses proverbs in his speech, which are integral part so-called sanchisms- monologues uttered by Sancho. The surname Panza (in Spanish spelled Panza) means "belly". In Spanish literary criticism, it is considered as the personification of the Spanish people (Unamuno).

The image of Sancho Panza in the first part

Sancho Panza was a simple peasant farmer on the lands of Alonso Quijano, was married and had two children. Enticed by Don Quixote's promises to make him count and governor of the island in the future, Sancho agrees to accompany him as a squire. Not believing in the dreams and mirages of Don Quixote, Sancho often shows common sense in his speeches and tries to dissuade Don Quixote from the most reckless exploits. However, he willingly enjoys the benefits of knight-errantry. He is cunning, and often deceitfully tries to gain benefits. Considering that Don Quixote is out of his mind, he nevertheless reveres him for his intelligence and education.

In the second part of the book, Sancho changes, becoming smarter and more reasonable. Having received advice from Don Quixote, Sancho, appointed as a joke governor, governs honestly and intelligently and expresses himself elegantly. But then he realizes that power is not for him, and voluntarily leaves his post. However, those around him, considering Sancho also crazy, laugh and joke at him, sometimes cruelly, he is naive and believes a lot. At the end of the book, Sancho sincerely regrets the death of Don Quixote, but at the same time rejoices that he still earned money.

An excerpt characterizing Sancho Panza

Pierre blushed and hesitated.
- Then a patrol arrived, and all those who did not rob, all the men were taken away. And me.
- You, right, do not tell everything; you must have done something…” said Natasha and was silent for a moment, “good.”
Pierre went on talking. When he talked about the execution, he wanted to bypass terrible details; but Natasha demanded that he should not miss anything.
Pierre began to talk about Karataev (he had already got up from the table and was walking around, Natasha followed him with her eyes) and stopped.
“No, you cannot understand what I have learned from this illiterate fool.
“No, no, speak,” said Natasha. – Where is he?
“He was killed almost in front of me. And Pierre began to tell recent times their retreat, Karataev's illness (his voice trembled incessantly) and his death.
Pierre told his adventures as he had never told them to anyone before, as he himself had never yet remembered them. He now saw, as it were, a new meaning in all that he had experienced. Now, when he told all this to Natasha, he experienced that rare pleasure that women give when listening to a man - not smart women who, while listening, try or remember what they are told in order to enrich their mind and, on occasion, retell something or adapt what is being told to your own and communicate as soon as possible your clever speeches worked out in your small mental economy; but the pleasure that real women give, gifted with the ability to choose and absorb into themselves all the best that is only in the manifestations of a man. Natasha, not knowing it herself, was all attention: she did not miss a word, not a fluctuation of her voice, not a look, not a twitch of a facial muscle, not a gesture of Pierre. On the fly, she caught the word that had not yet been spoken and directly brought it into her open heart, guessing secret meaning all the spiritual work of Pierre.

Saavedra wrote when he was in prison. In this novel, the writer put all his thoughts about life, people, creativity, the world, etc. It was a time when the bourgeoisie attacked the aristocrats, when the old foundations collapsed. Cervantes saw all this and created one of the brightest images in all of world literature.
The main characters of the novel are the cunning hidalgo Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza. Don Quixote is a dreamer who believes in miracles, in goodness and justice. He believes that justice must prevail in Spain and throughout the world. When the novel was published, everyone unanimously recognized Don Quixote as very unusual and interesting character. Deciding to become a knight defending honor and justice, the hidalgo began to perform "heroic deeds". Don Quixote of La Mancha is a man who read many of the romances of chivalry that were popular at that time. He wanted to become as noble a knight as the heroes of these novels, and become famous throughout the country: “one cunning hidalgo imagined himself a knight and set off on a journey, setting out to eradicate all kinds of untruth and in the fight against all sorts of accidents and dangers to acquire an immortal name and honor".
Cervantes shows us that Don Quixote combines fantasy and realism. On the one hand, he does some unrealistic things: he fights with windmills, tries to challenge ferocious lions to fight, rushes on his faithful horse into the most dangerous adventures. It seems to him that he stands up for all the humiliated and destitute, that for this everyone will respect him. But in reality this is not so: people laugh at the knight, consider him crazy. On the other hand, Don Quixote is a man of a rational mind, educated and understanding of life. When his loyal squire becomes governor, he gives him useful advice.
Don Quixote is a kind, generous person, he is always ready to help. I.S. said of him: "He lives all ... outside of himself, for others, for brothers, for the extermination of evil, to counteract forces hostile to humanity, wizards, giants - that is, oppressors." But I feel sorry for Don Quixote - in modern life there would be no place for him.
Good thing he has Sancho Panza. Sancho Panza is the exact opposite of his master. He is a sober and pragmatic peasant who rescues Don Quixote from many troubles. They even look completely different: Don Quixote is tall and thin, and Sancho Panza is short and fat. They look comical, but they understand each other perfectly and complement each other well. I think they would be lost without each other.
Sancho Panza is a devoted friend and helper, he embodies all best qualities common man. He is reliable, kind-hearted, cheerful. If not for him, Don Quixote would not have gotten out of his troubles, and sometimes he would not have been able to avoid death. Sancho Panza kept his "knight" from unnecessary exploits, and also quickly lowered him to the ground after "great victories". I like Sancho Panza because he is quick-witted, witty, always doing something and never lose heart. Then all these qualities were useful to him when he became governor. devotion and all positive traits Sancho Panza makes him the favorite character of this work with many readers.

Cervantes ridicules chivalric romances as ridiculous and implausible and contrasts them with real Spanish reality. And he achieved his goal. Don Quixote discredited chivalric romances, putting an end to their popularity and success.

However, Don Quixote, of course, cannot be approached only as a parody of chivalric romances. After all, they have long been forgotten and are not read by anyone, but Cervantes' novel is still being read and, obviously, will be read at all times.

The writer created a work that unusually deeply reflected life's collisions, drew types of truly eternal significance. This, of course, is Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

The image of Don Quixote

Don Quixote wants to revive chivalry in an age when it has long since passed into the past, when other, new times have come. The knight comes across not castles and princesses, but taverns and merchants, wealthy peasants, mule drivers and government officials who oversee order. Don Quixote is a comic figure. He alone does not understand what everyone understands, does not understand that chivalry has outlived its time. He wants to restore justice, punish offenders, protect orphans and widows. In fact, it only creates confusion, maims people, causes them harm and suffering. He nearly killed a muleteer because he wanted to water his animals and took the trough in which Don Quixote had put his armor. He attacked a peaceful procession, seeing off the deceased, and, throwing a bachelor to the ground, crippled him. Don Quixote embodies in these episodes the old order with its lawlessness and robbery.

The novel is imbued with pathos of denial of the obsolete feudal order. Cervantes is a tendentious writer. The tendency of Don Quixote is to reject chivalry. The protagonist is beaten, trampled, knocked to the ground because he does not understand that the old feudal chivalric order has passed, that they are incompatible with new social forms.

But this does not exhaust the content of the image of Don Quixote. Already in the first part of the novel, some other features are found in him. Objectively, Don Quixote does evil deeds. But his subjective intentions are noble, humane and just. He protects the poor and the downtrodden.

A rich peasant beats a shepherd boy. Don Quixote rushes to his defense, because he believes that it is impossible to beat the weak. He frees people who are led to hard labor, because a person, according to Don Quixote, is free and cannot be chained, his will must be violated. He defends the shepherdess Marcela, who defends the freedom of feelings and rejects the encroachments of the importunate shepherd. The Knight of the Sorrowful Image is incomparably nobler than the innkeepers, merchants, rich peasants, mercenary representatives of the callous and prosaic bourgeois society around him.

These attractive features of Don Quixote are even more pronounced in the second part of the novel. He no longer harms anyone. His exploits are usually harmless - he descends into the Montesinos cave, helps two young lovers fight against the power of the rich Camacho. Finally, he ends up in the duke's castle. The Duke and Duchess mock Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, arrange various cruel jokes on them. Cervantes is critical of their ridicule and antics. He believes that Don Quixote should not be mocked. The hero has big human dignity. We see his breadth and nobility, his ability to sacrifice himself.

Don Quixote acts as a bearer humanistic philosophy, this knight is a true humanist. He expresses the idea that a person must be developed both physically and mentally (“the sword should not dull the pen, the pen should not dull the sword,” says Don Quixote). In his opinion, the best embodiment of the humanistic ideal is a knight. In the hero himself, this ideal was embodied in a caricature.

Don Quixote appears before us not only as a knight, but also as a philosopher, moralist, sage. He recalls the past, recalls the "golden age", when people did not know the words "mine", "your" and gold did not play any role in their lives. He believes that a vicious person of noble birth is worse than a virtuous person of the simplest rank and low birth. When Sancho Panza goes to the governorship, he gives him advice and instructions, develops a theory based on mercy and humanity.

The ideas of Don Quixote are progressive ideas. They are from the Renaissance great era struggle against feudalism. However, Cervantes makes the knight, a representative of an old obsolete society, the bearer of these progressive ideas.

Cervantes lived in an era when the outlines of bourgeois society were already taking shape. In Spain, first of all, the negative aspects of this society, self-interest and cleansing, acted. And although this process was just beginning, the brilliant writer sensitively caught and reflected it.

The ideals of the humanists could not be realized in bourgeois society. On the contrary, it turned out to be hostile to them, denied these ideals. Therefore, Cervantes embodied them in the form of Don Quixote, a man hostile to this society.

A rich peasant beating a boy, roguish innkeepers, merchants - all these representatives of the money society are not accidentally hostile to Don Quixote. They laugh and mock at his desire to protect the poor and the weak, at his nobility and generosity, at his knightly prowess.

The inconsistency of the image of Don Quixote lies in the fact that his humanistic aspirations appear in an obsolete knightly form. Therefore, our attitude towards Don Quixote is ambivalent. We deeply sympathize with his noble aspirations, but at the same time we laugh at his historical blindness, at his lack of a sense of reality, at his ridiculous intention to fight against new economic forms of life with the spear and sword of a feudal knight. Don Quixote is powerless in his struggle against the bourgeois world, for he attacks it from the standpoint of the past.

The image of Don Quixote shows not only an extravagant knight, it represents groundless enthusiasm, beautiful-hearted dreams of people's happiness, not based on reality. The misadventures and failures of the knight of La Mancha clearly show that the best, noblest ideas fail if they do not find support in real life.

Image of Sancho Panza

Next to the thin and long Don Quixote, seated on Rossinante, trotting on his donkey, the squat and round squire Sancho Panza. His image also undergoes a certain evolution in the novel.

Sancho enters into a romance with the following characterization: "He was a respectable man (if such a definition is applicable to people who cannot boast of a decent amount of any good), but his brains were very on one side." Sancho is naive and silly, he is the only one who believes in the nonsense of Don Quixote. It was limited village life. He is not without some trickery and is not averse to paying in a tavern or using someone else's harness for his donkey. Sometimes he expresses directly selfish thoughts - for example, Sancho believes that if Negroes are his subjects, he can simply sell them.

Sancho Panza partly understands that his master is crazy. He exploits Don Quixote's credulity rather cleverly. Sober and not devoid of practical wisdom, he often triumphs over him. When Don Quixote wants to embark on a dangerous adventure at night, Sancho Panza ties Rocinante's legs and announces that the magicians have bewitched him. Or he passes off peasant women passing by as Dulcinea and her servant.

For a long time he looks at all adventures from the point of view of his own benefit. However, as the novel develops, Sancho Panza also evolves. In the second part of the novel, he grows into a figure full of deep nobility.

Sancho talks all the time about his salary, goes on and on about how much he's supposed to get. But in essence, he is a selfless person. All these conversations end with him reconciling with Don Quixote and following him unconditionally. From all his undertakings, he extracts, in the words of Heine, only poof.

Sancho Panza has peculiar virtues - it has a healthy folk principle. He is a carrier folk wisdom. Under the influence of Don Quixote, Sancho Panza develops morally and grows spiritually. This spiritual and moral steadfastness of the hero is expressed primarily in the fact that he does not leave his master, unselfishly follows him everywhere.

The character of Sancho Panza is most fully revealed in the episode with his governorship. Following the advice of a humanist knight, a peasant governor rules better than a duke. He shows self-control, wisdom and selflessness. Sancho Panza is bullied. Under the pretext that he might be poisoned, he is not allowed to eat; he is pinned down with shields and trampled under foot during an imaginary battle. But he does his job. He solves numerous riddles, solves complex cases wisely and fairly. In all literature European Renaissance we do not meet such an apotheosis of the peasant, the wisdom and justice of a man from the people.

The meaning of the novel

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza travel together, they are inseparable. Don Quixote is a humanist knight, Sancho Panza is a peasant, a representative of the people. Humanism and the people are inseparable.

Sancho Panza and Don Quixote present old world, the old pre-bourgeois society, its two estates - the knight and the peasant. Both of them oppose the bourgeois world.

Don Quixote even raises a rebellion against this world. However, the novel ends with the reconciliation of the hero with society. At the end of the novel, Don Quixote transforms into Alonso Quijan the Good, a humble man who renounces his delusions and dies, mourned by relatives and friends. But, of course, the meaning of the novel is not in this reconciliation, but in the depiction of Don Quixote's rebellion.

Cervantes buries the old feudal world, obsolete and condemned by history. But he does not accept the emerging bourgeois world with its callousness, heartlessness, mercantilism. In those historical conditions When the novel was written, it played an important role in the struggle against feudalism and thus objectively prepared bourgeois society.

The novel contains humanistic ideas that go beyond the boundaries of the bourgeois world, unrealizable in it. Cervantes bequeathed these ideas to the coming centuries, bequeathed to the future.
