堂吉诃德读后感英文

what can anyone say about don quixote that hasn't been said? the book's been around for four hundred years, has inspired virtually every literary movement from the eighteenth-century picaresque to the most obscure works of twenty-first century postmodernism.

don quixote is one of the few books that merits casual references with the definite article （"the quixote"）， and additionally is one of the few books to spawn a universally-recognized adjective （"quixotic"）。 how to even approach a book like don quixote, a book that has been, at some time or other, all things to all people? how to evaluate a cultural monolith? the simplest way, of course, is just to pay attention to the fact that don quixote, four hundred years after its initial publication, is still a hell of a read!

sure, there are rough patches, yet: the mini-novels that interrupt the narrative of the first part for a hundred-odd pages would have been easy targets for some modern publisher's blue pencil, the long essays on arms or piety can ring strangely to reader sensibilities, the descriptions are sometimes a vague mess, and yet the basic story, the basic concept holds up.

it's hard to stay mad at don quixote: as frustrating as the plot can be at times, some archetypal lure lurks within the world of cervantes's spain, some magic that draws us in, much like the world of chivalry that continues to draw quixote himself through the progressively more painful wringer of situations.

the concept of the novel is simple: alonso quijano, landowner from la mancha, is obsessed with his library of chivalrous books. driven mad by the inconsistencies of plot, character and philosophy that fill each volume of these seventeenth-century precursors to the fantasy novel, quijano resolves to restore dignity to the lost profession of knight-errantry, assembles a rudimentary sword, suit of armor, and horse （the eternally-suffering-and-spavined rocinante）， and sets out into spain in his quest for glory.

in return for this act of hysterical faith, he finds violent innkeepers, malevolent thieves, cynical shepherds, sadistic nobility, and even （due to avellaneda's false sequel to the book's first volume, one of the most famous pieces of fan-fiction ever written） an inferior （and, in the novel, invisible） quixote impostor.

the first few scenes involve quixote alone against the contemporary world, but before a hundred pages have elapsed cervantes introduces sancho panza, quixote's gullible, bloated and homily-spouting squire, who in conjunction with quixote provides the spark for endlessly bizarre discussions in which quixote's heightened, insane conception of the world is brought crashing to earth by sancho's sly pragmatism （discussions which occasionally end with quixote threatening to pummel sancho in order to shut him up

once joined together, it's very difficult to imagine don quixote and sancho ever being split apart: the two are the original comic duo, locked into perpetually and mutually exclusive views of the world, and in and of themselves--whether sancho is being asked to give himself hundreds of lashes in order to disenchant quixote's swineherd love interest, dulcinea, or whether quixote is mixing a potion based on olive oil and bitter herbs that will, in theory, cure all of sancho's quixote-caused earthly wounds--the knight and the squire personifies the thematic conflict that propels the work.

in general, this is why don quixote remains one hell of a read--even today. the reader faces, in the same moment, an ideal view of the world （the world as enchanted, antiquated, idyllic） and the brutal facts of the actual world （the world as material, modern, loath to believe in knights.）

quixote hacks at the belly of ogres in an inn basement, and is rewarded by a jet of wine in his face and a hefty bill for damages. he tries to rid the land of giants, and is spun, lance-first, by a powerful windmill he spears in the attempt. he attempts to liberate a statue of the virgin mary, which he believes to be a damsel in distress, from her captors, and in return is beaten up by priests.

throughout, sancho is there to say exactly what the reader is likely thinking--those aren't giants; dulcinea isn't beautiful; none of this can be real--only to be rewarded with a lecture from don quixote about how he is beset by enchanters, who frustrate his every move by replacing the facts of his world, at the last moment, with devil's illusions that bear an uncomfortable resemblance to our own reality. it's a single joke repeated across a thousand pages, and yet it's strong enough to bring a laugh every time.

quixote's insistence on his own madness in the face of innumerable arguments to the contrary, many of which take the form of cat scratches, cracked bones and missing teeth, makes him an interesting character because we know--or we think we know--that quixote is just wrong. yet, despite all of the pain he suffers in pursuit of that wrong, he continues to believe that he's right. so we read on page-after-page, waiting to see how much more the man who believes himself a knight is able to take before he gives in--whether, in the end, quixote will give in at all.

we read not only for page-after-page, but for year-after-year, century-after-century, pulled by the cognitive dissonance that surrounds the knight like his own cloud of malicious enchanters. in the process, just as quixote builds his castles from inns and criminal campfires, so we build castles of speculation from what we find in cervantes's spain, at once so brutally real and so dream-like, the realm of archetype and myth founded on dreary life. we, like don quixote, are driven to hallucinate by what might be, in the end, just a very good story.

with don quixote, cervantes has accomplished an enduring act of literary alchemy: just as quixote is combined with sancho, so is fantasy combined with reality, the eternal with the everyday, and like the combination of matter and anti-matter, the explosion of aesthetic power is, in magnitude, infinite, propelling readers from the earth--at first facing inward at what was left behind on the page, then, forgetting the earth, outward into meaning--farther and farther toward the dream-like stars.

《堂吉诃德》读后感（一）

堂吉诃德，

一个年老的乡村绅士，

怀着伟大骑士的灵魂

苦苦思索着无人能明白的理……

------题记

一个满脸消瘦，面带愁容的小贵族，为了心中美丽的达辛尼娅，他爱上了骑士小说……一匹瘦弱的老马-稷南提、一柄生了锈的长矛，一个破了洞的头盔，堂吉诃德带着桑丘开始了他们伟大的出征。可是时代变了，骑士制度早已成为历史，他自然当不成骑士了，于是他只得以幻想来实现当骑士的向往，他把乡村客店当作城堡，把旅店老板当作寨主，把旋转的风车当作巨人，把羊群当作军队，把理发师当作武士，把胜利取得的铜盘当作有名的曼布里诺头盔，把罪犯当作受迫害的绅士……闹了许多的笑话，吃了无数苦头，直到临终前才醒过来。唉，可怜的堂吉诃德！

然而，堂吉诃德又是伟大的。这一点都不矛盾。由理想主义精神和浪漫主义情调构成的唐吉诃德气质不是每个人都能具有的，这是一种充满实践勇气和内在热情的英雄气质，我们需要的就是这种怀抱着崇高信念和伟大理想的唐吉诃德式的人物。堂吉诃德敢于追求自己心中的布宜诺斯艾利斯。达辛尼娅是只个美丽的梦，但是他努力寻找梦境。她对爱情是忠贞不渝的，即便那只是邻村挤牛奶的姑娘。他有着无比正义的骑士精神，他一心认为这世界需要拯救需要伟大的堂吉诃德。他是那么可笑，内心却又那么认真。

正是堂吉诃德的无能和勇敢，让随同出门行侠的商丘不离不弃。商丘，一个伊壁鸠鲁式的享乐派。朱光潜先生曾经给过他们这样一段评价：一个是满脑子虚幻理想，持长矛和风筝搏斗，以显出骑士威风的堂吉诃德本人，另一个是要从美酒佳肴，高官厚禄中享受人生滋味的商丘。潘沙。他们一个是可笑的理想主义者，一个是实用的理想主义者。但是堂吉诃德属于过去，商丘。潘沙却属于未来。随着资产阶级势力的日渐上升。理想的人就不是堂吉诃德而是商丘……或许说堂吉诃德是聪明中的傻瓜，商丘是傻瓜中的聪明一点也没有错吧。

曾经这部书只不过是对于骑士文学的讽刺目的在于把骑士文学地盘完全的摧毁，后来，它却成了行将灭之的骑士阶级的史诗。

现在，堂吉诃德骑着华丽的马车到天堂寻找美丽的达辛尼娅了么？

《堂吉诃德》读后感（二）

文/季雅雯

《堂吉诃德》是文艺复兴时期西班牙文学黄金时期最杰出的现实主义作家塞万提斯的代表作。讲述了主人公堂吉诃德和他的侍从桑丘。潘沙的“游侠史”。

作品主人公堂吉诃德是一个不朽的典型人物。书中写着，这个瘦削的、面带愁容的穷乡绅，由于爱读骑士文学，入了迷，竟然骑上一匹瘦弱的老马，找到一柄生了锈的长矛，戴着破了洞的头盔，要去游侠，除强扶弱，为人民打抱不平。他雇了附近的农民桑丘·潘沙做侍从，骑了驴儿跟在后面。堂吉诃德又把邻村的一个挤奶姑娘想像为自己终生为之效劳的意中人，给她取了名字叫杜尔西内娅·台尔·托波索。于是他以一个未受正式封号的骑士身份出去找寻冒险事业。

堂吉诃德的骑士之旅可谓是滑稽透顶了，他完全失掉对现实的感觉而沉入了漫无边际的幻想中，唯心地对待一切，处理一切，因此一路闯了许多祸，吃了许多亏，闹了许多笑话，然而一直执迷不悟。他把风车当成巨人，把美丽的农家女当成公主，把一家普通的小客店当做被实施了魔法的堡垒。第一次出行被人打得动弹不得，被驮在驴背上回到村里；第二次出行最终以被人装在木牢里带回村里告终；第三次出行在被同村学士装扮的骑士打败后郁郁寡欢地重回故里，直到最终一病不起，临终才明白过来。他立下遗嘱，唯一的继承人侄女如嫁给骑士，就取消其继承权。

堂吉诃德的形象是复杂而充满矛盾的。他身上既有明显的戏剧性特征，又有鲜明的悲剧性色彩。一方面，堂吉诃德是可笑的。他由于受骑士小说的影响，脱离实际，迂阔顽固，忠于幻想，在三次出游中闹了不少笑话，遭到一连串失败，却仍然想要在现实中恢复过去时代的骑士精神。他用诸如：“天叫我生在这个铁的时代，是要我恢复金子的时代。”之类的可笑话语来解释自己“与众不同”的疯狂举动，让人不禁大笑。

另一方面，堂吉诃德生活在资本主义兴起时期，充满着崇高的理想主义精神，总幻想扫除一切社会不平，这就与客观现实造成了冲突，这一冲突既具有喜剧性又具有悲剧性。这个犯了时代错误的堂吉诃德却要在现实生活中恢复过了时的骑士精神，因而使得他成了一个夸张的、滑稽的、喜剧性的角色。但是作者在种种场合中，反复突出他醉心铲除人间罪恶的这一特点，从而展示出他性格中的高贵品质，即为了追求正义、理想而置身危险于不顾，愿为社会而不惜牺牲自已的生命。因此与单纯的喜剧性角色不同，他又是一个带有悲剧因素的人物。

我觉得，堂吉诃德是很可笑，但是他的可笑却正是他所处的社会的悲哀的最好呈现。堂吉诃德对桑丘说过：“桑丘，让他们管我叫疯子吧，我还疯的不够，所以得不到他们的赞许。”堂吉诃德仿佛从被讽刺的对象成为了讽刺者。

作者塞万提斯以犀利的讽刺笔锋对西班牙的上层统治阶级进行了无情的鞭挞和嘲讽，对人民的苦难寄予了深切的同情。小说揭露了西班牙统治阶级外强中干的本质和彬彬有礼的外表下掩盖着的阴险、凶残的本性。小说中写到官僚们贪污纳贿，买卖黑权，专横腐败的社会现象，好大喜功的国王疯狂的军事侵略，几千名无辜士兵，尽成炮灰。在面临重重危机的情况下，统治阶级以挑起宗教冲突或民族矛盾来摆脱困境，劳动人民被逼迫生活不下去了，只好铤而走险起来反抗。

堂吉诃德外在和内在两个方面的性格特征正是塞万提斯自己世界观矛盾的表现。从这个意义上来说，堂吉诃德的悲剧也就是塞万提斯的悲剧。

堂吉诃德的悲剧既是性格的悲剧，更是时代的悲剧。他可笑、可爱又可悲。正如小说的结尾所说：“他活着是个疯子，死了是个智者。”不管怎么说，在我看来，就算堂吉诃德是个疯子，他也是一个有着崇高精神境界的“疯子”！

《堂吉诃德》读后感（三）

一个拥有疯狂骑士梦的乡村富地主，带着一个纯真的梦想，一身简朴得引人发笑的戎装，一个单纯善良的侍从，踏上了困难的骑士之路。

这是西班牙最后的一个骑士。

一路上，他都被称为疯子。他没有丧气，似乎毫不知情，将现实世界中的一切魔法化。

他是以失败告终的，但我认为，他成功了。()因为在他临终时，他醒悟了，骑士道应该结束了，他当初决定闯天下的决定不是对的。骑士小说也应日趋衰落，以至彻底灭亡。

我十分地感动，感动于堂吉诃德那单纯的维护和平的决心，感动于他的善良，感动于他的勇敢。

也许我永远也会铭记，堂吉诃德带我的教训与带给我的鼓励。

在看这本书的时候，我的心绪由着主人公的心情上下起伏，仿佛身临其境。它没有《哈利波特》的美伦美奂；没有《三国演义》的震奋人心，没有《红楼梦》的千式百样。但是，它带给我的比任何一本书都多，比任何一本书都好，比任何一本书都受益。

我很深刻的一首诗上的一句话：“人世的愿望皆落空，许诺的是安逸，得到的却是阴影，尘烟和梦花”。也许，我们盼望很多东西，不过相反，我们得不到很多东西，谁也愿意人生一路顺风，但是，不免有坎坷磨难。

很多事情都不能如我们所愿，这个乡坤贵族堂吉诃德也希望自己可以平定灾难，但是，此时的他正被骑士小说的梦幻思想所感染，他带给人们与带给自己更多的是失望，困难与伤心。

他以心待人，但是又怎样呢？公爵不断地捉弄他，把他当作一个笑柄。他却不知情，依然一心一意，天真地满足人们的要求，但是总是弄巧成拙。

他没有错，书分有好书坏书，骑士小说对人们的帮助不大，反有危害；而塞万堤斯这本《堂吉诃德》就对我有很大帮助。他学习了骑士小说中那种愚昧的思想，但是他的本性是善良的，他是个大好人。

桑乔（堂吉诃德）的侍从也让我感触很深，书上的一句话：侍从比比皆是，唯他忠实无华。在磨难中，他和他的主人成为了真正的好朋友，也变的稍有文采，学会了思考问题。

他相信堂吉诃德会给他一个海岛总督，我想这不是愚蠢，这是善良，他用善良的心给了孤独的主人陪伴，他用他的忠诚伴随主人度过一个个难关。

他也如他所愿，公爵让他做了1个月，也许他被耍了，被骗了，但是也圆了他的梦想。

在生活中，我们对待朋友要将心比心，好朋友总是有的，知己总会找到的。

我明白，冲动并不能做出好的成绩，反而会害了自己，结果往往与愿望想反，要成功需要努力，需要正确的思想与恰当的方法。而这本书告诉我们的肯定不止这些，留由读者慢慢体会。

堂吉诃德的读后感（一）

《堂吉诃德》的悲剧在于它肢解了曾经神圣的道德观念，而这种肢解是建立在一个个沉重的矛盾之上的：要消灭即将衰亡的虚伪的骑士道，却设计了一个柔弱但真诚的卫道士。于是，人们在与腐朽道德战斗时，突然发现面前站着的"敌人"是个柔弱的老头，没有了摧枯拉朽的快感，没有了流血牺牲的英勇，甚至在面对一个弱者的抵抗时，会检讨自己的正义性。恰好，堂吉诃德奉行的不是虚伪的骑士道，不是道貌岸然的道德欺骗，而是人们久违了的一种精神：对上帝的无限忠诚，对爱情的至死不渝。

当堂吉诃德开始为自己的精神家园而战时，第二层矛盾出现了：真正意义上的骑士道早就被虚伪的道德所渗透演变，而世俗的价值观已经犹如一艘笨重的航空母舰，从对上帝的忠诚、对英雄的崇敬转向了对个体价值的追求。世俗价值观的改变虽然具有滞后性，但同时具有强大的惯性和持久的韧性，瘦弱但张狂的堂吉诃德却妄想扭转它，所以，他可以仅凭着信仰的力量不顾自身的渺小而义无反顾地冲向巨大风车，而其身后扬起的却是一股荒谬的尘埃。我们暂且不去讨论新教伦理对社会发展是否有推动力量，只要想想，当人们举着张扬个性的大旗从中世纪解放出来的若干年后，人们不是又一次产生了信仰的需求吗？我们可以说这是历史的波浪式前进和螺旋式上升，但由此我们也可以发现，堂吉诃德以及堂吉诃德式的口号可以一言以蔽之--不合时宜。

堂吉歌德是很很好笑，但现实中不也有和他一样的人吗？他们妄想着，结果害了别人也害了自己。

笑着至于我们也该反省下自己，别让自己成为下一个堂吉歌德。

堂吉诃德的读后感（二）

《堂吉诃德》的名字已经变成了脱离实际、醉于幻想、主观主义的同义语

作者以犀利的讽刺笔锋对西班牙的上层统治阶级进行了无情的鞭挞和嘲讽，对人民的苦难寄予了深切的同情。小说揭露了西班牙统治阶级外强中干的本质和彬彬有礼的外表下掩盖着的阴险、凶残的本性。在面临重重危机的情况下，统治阶级以挑起宗教冲突或民族矛盾来摆脱困境，劳动人民被逼迫生活不下去了，只好铤而走险起来反抗。作者真实的反映了官逼民反的真情。

在当时黑暗腐朽、贫富悬殊的社会里，作者为我们塑造了一个“不畏强暴，不恤丧身”、立志扫尽人间不平的堂吉诃德。堂吉诃德清醒时是一个学识渊博的智者，糊涂时又是一个乱冲乱杀的疯子。他时而清醒，时而糊涂，这些极端矛盾的现象集中在他一个人身上，就构成了他的复杂、丰富、多方面的性格。作者虽然嘲笑骑士制度，却又赞美理想化的骑士精神；痛斥种种罪恶现象，但又把许多社会问题归结到抽象的道德上去。这正是作者塞万提斯的人文主义理想与西班牙社会现实的矛盾的反映，也是人文主义弱点的反映。

堂吉诃德的读后感（三）

《堂吉柯德》是一本有意思的书，西班牙一个国王在王宫阳台上看到一个学生一边看书，一边狂笑，就断定这个学生一定在看《堂吉柯德》，否则就是个疯子。果然，那家伙就是在看《堂吉柯德》。

这本书堪称经典，但是最好不要带着那么严肃的眼光去看，因为这本书在出版后一大段时间内属于地摊读物，他的价值也曾被认为仅仅是“逗笑”（塞万提斯不学无术，不过倒是个才子，他是西班牙最逗笑的作家—当时人语），不管曾经遭过什么评价，这本书确实很逗笑，我写这篇读后感的时候都忍不住想笑。这本书言语轻松活泼，似乎每一句话都是信手拈来而又很贴切，但不是那么精确，甚至情节的前后衔接都很随便，以至于出现不少漏洞，但是这并不影响整个书的吸引力，这本书有一种来自民间的活力，如果你和一堆淳朴的乡下人扎堆开玩笑，就能感受到这种暖和的，自然的活力来。

作者塞万提斯正是这种社会低层的角色，他是个伤残的军士，被俘当过奴隶，其间带领弟兄们几回逃跑，都被抓回来。被人赎回来之后，一贫如洗，写作也没有让他脱贫，还因为无妄之灾坐了几回牢……最后得水肿病死了。死后，人们也不知他的确切葬处。

堂吉柯德，一个乡下绅士，读骑士小说入了迷，一心想要把书中骑士的种种行为付诸现实，他以利相诱，居然说动了邻居桑丘去作他的奴仆，这样，一个疯子和一个傻子，就开始了这部“伟大的信使”。

在历险中，和别人交谈，只要不涉及骑士道，堂吉柯德头脑清晰，见识高明，他有坚定的信仰，高尚的品德，堪称骑士典范，他一心追求正义，和想象中的敌人“作战”毫不畏惧，连命都不要，他坚信自己应该扶助弱小，但事实上，他往往给别人添乱。他扞卫纯洁忠贞，痴心不悔地坚守着自以为是的爱情，而他所谓的“情人”是个粗壮的村姑，压根不认识他。他在想象的世界里生活，历尽挫折而不后悔，认为这只不过是“魔术家捣的鬼”，还不断给桑丘打气---骑士总是要历尽各种艰险，才()能成就丰功伟绩的。

而桑丘呢？他是个只看见眼前利益只顾自己的农民，因为堂吉柯德许给他种种好处，他才跟着去当奴仆的，他满足于口腹的享受，对堂吉柯德的各种奇思异想不断戳穿，对他的清苦生活满腹牢骚。“天上飞的老鹰，比不上地上跑的母鸡。”他凭常识判断处理问题，总督居然当的不错，当然，后来他觉得累，不愿当了。

主仆二人的历险，略似《西游记》当中的唐僧师徒四人的历险，只是前者是现实世界为背景的荒谬，而后者是以神话世界为背景的奋斗。这另人想起信仰的问题，信仰是遥远的，如远方的灯火。而眼前的世界，局限于经验，是感性的，浅薄的而或许是“正常的”， 桑丘就是一个没有理性，光知道享受的傻子，主仆二人看似矛盾，实际却不可分割。堂吉柯德的理想固然可笑，可是谁又能笑话他呢？如果一个人有点使自己激动的理想和信念，是不是比堂吉柯德的游侠梦更加真实，更加高明一些呢？如果不是，想做桑丘，满足于眼前的快乐，又有谁甘心这样呢？
