And thus, from too little sleep and too much reading, his brain dried up and he completely lost his judgment.
In Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's literary classic "Don Quixote," the protagonist's obsession with reading leads to his downfall. His excessive consumption of literature deprives him of sleep and clarity, resulting in a warped sense of reality. This deterioration of his mental faculties ultimately compromises his ability to make sound judgments.
The quote highlights the dangers of overindulgence in reading, suggesting that it can lead to a disconnection from reality. Don Quixote's transformation from a nobleman into a delusional knight showcases the thin line between imagination and madness, emphasized by his complete loss of rational thought due to neglecting his well-being.
