Commentary | Returning to their village, don Quixote and Sancho find one hare chased by greyhounds; don Quixote interprets it as a bad omen about Dulcinea and Sancho saves the hare to break the bad omen; "presupongamos que esta liebre es Dulcinea del Toboso, y estos galgos que la persiguen son los malandrines encantadores que la transformaron en una labradora: ella huye, yo la cojo, y la pongo en poder de vuesa merced que la tiene en sus brazos y la regala" (73:2).
In the foreground, two boys arguing about a cage with crickets. From the background, the hunters appear searching their hare. Sancho's donkey with the clothes from Altisidora's adventure. |
