The characters of the Duke and Duchess play a central role in the narrative.
In Part two of Don Quixote (1615) the characters of the Duke and Duchess play a central role in the narrative. Let’s be clear, these two characters are cruel and snobbish coming up with made-up adventures and practical jokes to mock and make fun of Don Quixote and Sancho for the majority of the novel’s second part. The reader quickly realizes that the Duke and Duchess don’t care at all about Don Quixote and Sancho and continually play tricks on them for their own entertainment and amusement. Still, somehow, Don Quixote and Sancho come out looking better than the Duke and Duchess; they are more compassionate and remarkably more sensible than the Duke and Duchess appear to the reader. For example, Sancho’s governorship of the isle and Don Quixote’s practical and sensible advice for Sancho as to how best run his government (please keep in mind that this is the same “mad” and “crazy” Don Quixote of part one of the novel) and in turn Sancho’s good sense and fairness in his handling of the problems the townspeople send him on the isle (please keep in mind this is the illiterate and feeble-minded Sancho of part one of the novel).
please compare and contrast the characters of Don Quixote and Sancho with those of the Duke and Duchess as they appear in part two of the novel. Please use at least two examples from the text to support your analysis.
