Question

What are the reason Don Quixote is a parody? A. It recounts an important episode in the history of Spain. B. It is about a legendary hero who is “larger than life". C. It makes fun of the old tales of knightly adventure. D. It is meant to persuade readers to agree with the author.

Answer 1

The reason why Don Quixote is a parody is because C. It makes fun of the old tales of knightly adventure.
Don Quixote is quite mad - he believes he is a knight on an adventure to save the love of his life, when in fact, that is not true, and knights have stopped existing a long time ago. Cervantes is trying to mock the whole thing about knights and their lives.
