But most of all he dreams of his beloved Dulcinea, a woman that he believes to be so lovely and noble that she must be divine. Approaching windmills, Don Quixote can no longer see the moon and thinks evil magicians have hidden his beloved mistress. So he tilts at the sails of a windmill, which he mistakes for a giant.
