Don Quixote exhibits madness in his adventures of chivalry while Sancho Panza looked to benefit from any possessions he might possibly gain along the way. Quixote's mind clearly shows effects of unreality. He thinks cardboard added to a helmet makes for great protection and sufficient for a substantial knight. "...he proceeded to fashion out of cardboard a kind of half-helmet, which when attached to the morion, gave the appearance of a whole one."

At some point reality and unreality must be separated. Something happens in Quixote's process of thinking that doesn't allow for this distinction. "Everything that this adventurer of ours thought, saw, or imagined seemed to him to be directly out of one of the story books he had read." Sancho Panza decides to aid his fellow neighbor on his journey knowing not his extent of madness. As the journey begins, he possibly goes along to see if he can merely watch over him.

When Quixote sees a windmill as a giant, Panza tries to explain that it is merely a windmill. "But look your Grace, those are not giants but windmills, and what appear to be arms are their wings which, when whirled in the breeze, cause the millstone to go." After Quixote battles the windmill...
