1. Don Quixote’s madness causes him to see a castle instead and to believe two prostitutes to be royal women.
2. When Don Quixote and Sancho see clouds of dust caused by herds of sheep in the road, Don Quixote thinks he sees two armies in a battle and begins listing the names of the soldiers and knights in each army, and he even includes a description of the soldiers’ armor and physical characteristics.
3. Don Quixote gives Sancho several pieces of advice on how to govern an island. His advice spans the subjects of what sort of women to marry, how to treat criminals, and how to confront enemies.
4. Don Quixote mistakes a field of windmills for giants and attempts to fight them but finally concludes that a magician must have turned the giants into windmills.
