Commentary Don Quixote recovers his reason and asks the priest to confess him; he also asks Sansón Carrasco to look for a notary, because he wants to make his will; the barber should appear too.
It is interesting the moment that has been chosen; not the most dramatic (don Quixote's death), but when don Quixote recovers his reason and asks for confession.
The scene is quite well-resolved; the priest and Sansón Carrasco's gestures, surprised by don Quixote's sane words, are remarkable. 
Notes According to the Index included at the end of the volume, this illustration (Plate VIII) is rightly placed.
