→Characters: his friends
Other key characters are Rocinante, Don Quixote's ageing horse; Dulcinea de Toboso, the lady whom Don Quixote claims to serve in the chivalric tradition (although she is eventually revealed to be an uncouth peasant girl whom he barely knows); and Cide Hamete Benengeli, a [[Muslim|Moorish]] writer whom Cervantes claims originally wrote the story, his version being a translation from the [[Arabic]].

Most of the other characters mock Don Quixote, but he has three loyal friends apart from Sancho: the barber and priest from his home village, and a young man named Sanson Carrasco. The three are deeply worried about their friend, and make efforts to cure him of his madness and persuade him to return home. Eventually, Carrasco hits on the ingenious idea of dressing up as a rival knight and challenging Quixote to a joust, on the condition that he renounces his knightly ways for good. This works at the second attempt - Quixote manages to win the joust the first time.
