In "Don Quijote of La Mancha," Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra explores the theme of peaceful possession through the character of Don Quijote. The protagonist, driven by his ideals of chivalry, often believes he is fighting for noble causes but finds himself in absurd situations. His misguided quests reflect his desire to achieve a sense of ownership over his dreams and ideals, even as reality dictates otherwise.

This notion of peaceful possession extends beyond material belongings; it encompasses the deeper longing for respect and recognition in society. Don Quijote’s adventures suggest that true possession lies in one's convictions and the imaginative realm that crafts a person's identity, rather than in tangible assets. Through his journey, Cervantes invites readers to reflect on what it truly means to possess peace and fulfillment in a chaotic world.
