    It’s congratulating Don Quixote for trying to preserve chivalric code, no matter how misguided it may be, with the result being better than what you’d think at first glance.

      Cervantes actually didn’t like the concept of chivalry and was considering a “companion” novel where he depicts chivalry as it really was. It’s pretty unfortunate that he never wrote it because I’m sure it would have been a classic.
