In Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's "Don Quixote," a critical view is presented on certain troubadours who misuse their influence. The speaker suggests that these performers, who distort reality, deserve to be exiled to the Lagartos Islands. This reflects a disdain for those who take advantage of their talents for superficial praise.

This highlights the theme of illusion versus reality, underscoring how societal perceptions can be manipulated.
