Don Quixote

by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

And saying this, [Don Quixote] spurred his horse Rocinante without heeding what his squire Sancho was shouting to him, that he was attacking windmills and not giants. But he was so certain they were giants that he paid no attention to his squire Sancho’s shouts, nor did he see what they were, even though he was very close. Rather, he went on shouting: “Do not flee, cowards and vile creatures, for it’s just one knight attacking you!”

If Sancho were the narrator, the point of view would become third-person limited. This means that the narrative would focus on Sancho’s thoughts, feelings, and observations, providing a more grounded perspective on the events, particularly his concern for Don Quixote as he mistakenly attacks windmills.
