Answer and Explanation:

McTeague novel is not only a story about McTeague, but also San Francisco and the American West, and their greed, masculinity, and medical authority. From the novel, readers learn that McTeague acquired his dental training as a young man not from any professional organization or school, but as a trainee to a traveling dentist who was characterized as an imposter. Despite not having a professional education as it happens today, McTeague shows some impression of belonging to the profession, which is being shown in his office where he keeps copies of The American System of Dentistry and Allen’s Practical Dentist. The Dental office quickly becomes one of his big achievements, with clients such as butcher boys, shop girls, drug clerks, and car conductors. The clients almost belong to the working and lower-middle classes. Americans, at the time, are distressed with dental care, usually only when pain is present. Dentists’ ability to mitigate pain from infected or decaying teeth gave them a large amount of medical authority. The mouths valued as the beginning of the digestive system symbolizes that the dentist’s job was just as critical as that of the physicians.

What makes don Quixote parody
aleksandrvk [35]
That novel is a parody of a knighthood which was long forgotten. Don Quixote reads chivalric books instead of being the knight himself. He becomes sort of mad - he sees dragons and enemies where there are only windmills. He thinks his love Dulcinea will never age and will forever wait for him - whereas in reality she is just a normal peasant who doesn't even know him. The values of knighthood are mocked in this novel, and that is what makes it a parody.
