Please provide the best answer for the statement.


The episodes of Cervantes’s Don Quixote are parables that exhibit this relationship between reality and illusion, art and life. Cervantes has attempted to create a parallel with the main character, Don Quixote, as he struggles to understand his dreams and how they relate to his reality. The results illustrate the novelist’s ability to create a subject matter that makes us aware of the escape from reality as Don Quixote does.
