Extract

Literature is a very diverse and interesting subject today, with many different kinds of stories that all echo different ideas. Although, this was not always the case, because in the Elizabethan Era, almost all novels consisted of a boring theme and a chivalrous knight that would save his love. When Miguel de Cervantes wrote The Ingenious Gentelman Don Quixote de la Mancha, it shattered the concept of what was that literature. It did this with its use of satire, fundamental importance to that period, quirky protagonist, and his refusal to directly state the morals of the time.
