In "Don Quixote," the character expresses a bold determination to win the love of a princess despite the obstacles posed by her father's disapproval of his humble background as the son of a water-carrier. He believes that true love will prevail and that the princess will see beyond social status, ultimately leading to acceptance from her father.

If the father refuses to accept him, the character contemplates abduction as a means to secure their love, suggesting that time or even death could eventually resolve parental opposition. This reflects a mix of romantic idealism and drastic action, showcasing the lengths one might go to for love in a world constrained by societal norms.
