Don Quixote was originally written as a parody of the chivalric romances that were popular at the time of its publication, in the early 1600s. It realistically describes what happens to an aging knight who has been misled by the romances he has read; the titular Don Quixote sets out on his old horse to seek adventure, along with his squire Sancho Panza.
