Question

12 sentences explain what values of chivalry motivate Don quixotes attack on the windmills

Answer 1

In the story of Don Quixote, Don Quixote acts like a knight trying to attack the windmills because he thought they were giants. Although this is a funny scenario, we can see the instances of chivalric values. First would be courage. Though he knew he was going up against "giants", he still went for the attack. This was also a display of faith in oneself and his convictions. He also believed that he had to attack the "giants" before they attacked the land. Another would be nobility. He decided to do this simply because it was a part of his own principles. Even if he knew that he was probably going to die, he stuck up to his own sense of justice. Of course, there would be justice. He believed that justice had to be upheld so that his imaginary enemies won't conquer. These are all values that knights had in their code of chivalry.
