The World of Things in Don Quijote explores the material world of Miguel de Cervantes's masterwork to understand how meaning is constructed in the disenchanted world of the novel. Each chapter focuses on a primary object-chains, books, clothing, and weapons -but inevitably draws on myriad features of the material world in which the novel takes place, analyzing the multiple transformations of these literary 'things.' The research method stems from the novel itself, in which Don Quixote's and Sancho's differing perspectives offer at least two ways of reading the world. I argue that the multiplicity of contested and polyvalent meanings creates an effect of fantasy within the novel, despite its apparent realism. I read the novel as a museum of cultural artefacts that come together through intricate engineering to create a literary world that constantly refers to symbols and ideas from historical reality and literary precursors, as well as scenes and episodes from the work itself. The banality of these things make them easy to overlook, but when closely examined they reveal significant details about the narrative in which they appear. Over the four chapters that make up the body of this study, the sense of marvelous that often is attributed to the chivalric romances becomes apparent within the material world of the novel. Together, the chapters suggest that the fictional world is rich with symbolic signification that builds on the multiplicity of perspectives for which Cervantes is known.
