In Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's "Don Quixote," the protagonist discusses the concept of beauty with his companion Sancho. He explains that there are two distinct forms of beauty: one that pertains to the physical appearance and another that comes from within, related to the soul. Don Quixote emphasizes that inner beauty is more significant, rooted in virtues such as understanding, honesty, generosity, and good upbringing.
He asserts that these virtuous qualities can exist in someone deemed unattractive, highlighting that true beauty transcends mere physical attributes. This perspective challenges societal notions of beauty, suggesting that character and moral integrity ultimately define a person's worth more than their outward appearance.
