If a person were to write a newspaper on Don Quixote's crazy adventures, what part of the story would they most likely talk about?

I think sanity and insanity might be among the more interesting themes in the book. Don Quixote becomes obsessed with the idea of knight-errantry to the point of losing himself. His loss of reason is similar to that of any person who becomes obsessed with something. As he says to his niece, "if these knightly thoughts did not monopolize all my faculties, there would be nothing I could not do...."

Indeed, Don Quixote never quite loses his mind, he simply indulges—to the fullest extent— his imagination. It is a conscious effort, "and that is where the subtleness of my plan comes in. A knight-errant who goes mad for a good reason deserves no credit; the whole point consists in going crazy without cause." That is, if knight-errantry were in fashion, Don Quixote would not be unique. If he succeeds in resuscitating chivalry, he will become famous.
