Question

Cervantes directly pokes fun at the medieval romance every time don quixote obeys one of the rules of knighthood or "ordinances of chivalry," as he understands them. List three such "rules" that don quixote cites

Answer 1

Answer with Explanation:

The three rules under the "Ordinances of Chilvalry" that Don Quixote cites are:

1. One rule of the code is to defend the honor of "Dulcinea de Tobolso," whom he considered to be his lady.

2. Another rule is that a knight must make sacrifices. In order to do this, Don Quixote sometimes doesn't eat nor brush his teeth for many days. This was, for him, a form of sacrifice and physical punishment.

3. The code also dictates that a knight must fight for God, especially when it comes to injustice. So, when Don Quixote heard someone asking for help, he immediately thanked God first for the opportunity to help a person.
