  • The character Sancho is constructed gradually by means of action, that is, by means of that series of ¿physical¿ acts in space and time, and those statements , proverbs, parables, thoughts, tears, and lies which are fabricated in the mind and emanate from the person who bears the name Sancho. We know almost nothing about him until his personality develops and even changes before our eyes. The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that Sancho has been misunderstood because his life, in this great adventure, develops alongside that of a passionate, idealistic hidalgo. His personality is ¿constructed,¿ in the eyes of the reader, not as an ¿autonomous¿ personality but as the distorted, grotesque reflection of Don Quixote.
