Tusell
Despite being left alone being pampered for a month, Don Quixote’s madness remains. He learns that a book has been written about his misadventures.
Don Quixote is brought down from the mountains, only to run into further trouble at an inn. Eventually he’s tricked into being taken by oxcart back to his village.
A goatherd’s story leads to an almighty punch-up, which is interrupted by a procession praying for rain. Don Quixote disrupts that, and gets knocked down, apparently dead.
Seeing that Don Quixote might discover their deception, the priest and the barber hurry him away in a cage on the back of an ox cart. He still thinks he’s enchanted by a spell.
The judge’s young daughter is in love with one of his footmen, who isn’t who he might appear. Two women play a trick on Don Quixote, and the barber wants his brass basin back.
The man from Algiers completes the story of how he escaped with the Moorish woman. When a judge arrives at the inn, he thinks he recognises him as one of his brothers.
The man accompanying a Moorish woman tells his life story, how he became a slave to the King of Algiers, then came into contact with the mysterious woman.
The Priest continues reading The Tale of Inappropriate Curiosity. Towards the end, he’s interrupted when Don Quixote dreams he kills a giant. The story is completed once order returns to the inn.
The tragic events which drove the young nobleman Cardenio are seen in new light when they meet Dorotea, who becomes an exotic princess with a quest for Don Quixote.
