Subject: Definitions of madness

I know we weren't supposed to read this particular part, but I thought this section of Don Quixote fit well with the differenct concepts/ definitions of madness that are given throughout the novel. In Chapter 70, Cervantes says of the Duke and Duchess and the others that take advantage of DQ: "And Cide Hamete says even more: he considers that the perpetrators of the hoax were as mad as the victims, and that the Duke and Duchess, going to such lengths to make fun of two fools, were withina hairsbreadth of looking like fools themselves" (956).
