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.
However, the speaker acknowledges that the real fault lies not with the troubadours themselves but with the gullible audiences who celebrate them and the deceptive winds of fortune that support these false narratives. This highlights the theme of illusion versus reality, underscoring how societal perceptions can be manipulated.
