Don Quixote as a character symbolizes the conflict of tradition vs. change as he is reluctant to change; he is a character moved by traditional values and a cosmovision or a conception of the world long past its time, no longer valid or active. Don Quixote refuses to acknowledge the different context, the context where he is living and thus, he clings, he escapes to an imaginary plane where the values of knights and a world still motivated by a feudal system are in force. It's a form of escapism from a reality that he doesn´t want to recognize and that supposes a transformation of certain, traditional values.

He is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protecting himself.

It suggests that a free society is possible, with or without equal rights for all people.

The regal entertainment group? THE regal entertainment group?

Well, you probably want to work there because it's a pretty stable company and has very low chances of crashing, which means you probably will have a job for the rest of your life. Also, many people get entertained by this famous group, so you probably would earn more than minimal wage.
