In Miguel de Cervantes’ classic novel Don Quixote de la Mancha‚ a necessary counterpart to Don Quixote’s character is found in Sancho Panza. Sancho is Don Quixote’s so-called squire and companion through his adventures. The vital contrast between these two characters contributes to the literary success of Cervantes’ novel.
