Don Quixote: A Collision of Mindsets

Mujica, Barbara. "Don Quixote: A Collision of Mindsets." Approaches to Teaching Don Quijote. Ed. Lisa Vollendorf and Edward Friedman. New York: Modern Language Association, 2010.

Don Quijote embodies the prophetic mindset as described by John O'Malley in The Four Cultures of the West. The prophetic mindset is characterized by obsessive behavior and hyperbolic, uncompromising language. The mindset pits Don Quijote against other mindsets that are ascendant in the early 17th century.
