Question

How does Cervantes use symbols, irony, parody, and satire to develop and reinforce ideas about friendship, honor, family, and society in Don Quixote? ( If you write a detailed answer, I'll give you brainliest :] )

Answer 1

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was born in 1547 to a poor Spanish doctor. He joined the army at twenty-one and fought against Turkey at sea and Italy on land. In 1575, pirates kidnapped Cervantes and his brother and sold them as slaves to the Moors, the longtime Muslim enemies of Catholic Spain. Cervantes ended up in Algiers. He attempted to escape his enslavement three times and was eventually ransomed in 1580 and returned to Spain.
