That is a really interesting insight. Instead of thinking that Don Quixote is completely mad, maybe we should have some sort of respect for his attempt to see the world in a better light. Although, I think there is a difference between looking for the silver lining on a cloud and denying your reality. The first is really an optomistic and usually beneficial outlook, while the other is very often detrimental. I think this is am important distinction to make regarding the behavior of Don Quixote.
