Don Quixote: Character Sketch


Our second project in Computer Graphics includes choosing a character from a quality literary work, creating a character sketch, and photographing ourselves as that character. I have chosen Don Quixote, a dynamic character that will allow me a creative base to create my photos.
Don Quixote is a retired country gentleman who gets caught up in books about chivalry and adventure that comes from being a knight. He believes in the very obviously false tales and lives within the stories he has read. He so believes in these stories that he goes on his own adventure, dubbing a neighboring farm girl his "lady love" and even renaming her. He then recruits a squire, Sancho, and goes off on some adventures, even fighting windmills he mistakes for his enemies.
Don Quixote lives in a false world that is filled with chivalry and the ideals of knighthood. He believes in the books he reads and so wants them to be true that he creates his own adventures.
My word for Don Quixote is Chivalry.
