Episode notes

Dottie wants Don Fernando to come back and do right by her. It feels very, it reminds me of some of the Don Quixote's. The dynamics in, in measure for measure, there's a couple like guy slept with someone, but then moved on to some other relationships. In the end of the play, he ends up married to that first person that he slept with; are they happy? No, maybe who knows,. But it does have a dramatic arc. Even if you're supposed to, as the audience know, it's not necessarily a happy thing.

Enjoy another episode of our newest show-within-a-show! We're reading Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes a few chapters at a time. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

These episodes cover Chapters 28-42.

In Episode 5, Don Quixote rejoins the party. and everyone decides to shack up in the only inn/castle in all of Spain. Secondary characters step into the spotlight with their own stories, including a novel-within-a-novel called The Man Who Was Recklessly Curious.

In Episode 6, Don Quixote takes the backseat for a few more chapters. We have to close the book on Cardenio's Crew, finish the story of the Two Friends, and meet a few more ancillary characters who just love this inn.
