In the real world, it is always recommended to face reality, instinctively face fears and face adversity objectively to learn, mature and gain wisdom. This life philosophy seems the most reasonable to achieve the life skills that individuals need to cope. The play, Man of La Mancha, however, offers an alternative philosophy to this in which illusion is seen as the best mechanism for dealing with unhappiness. Sancho, Alonso Quijana and Aldonza all use illusion as a means to escape unhappiness, while neither Alonso nor Sancho achieve anything practical, Aldonza finds meaning in his life as a result. Alonso Quijana, a retired country gentleman, wishes to "no longer be a mere Alonso Quijana but a fearless knight” so he dons the imaginary armor of a soldier in hopes of fighting evil in the world. Burning with the “fire of an inner vision ”, Quijana, oppressed and outraged by “man's murderous ways towards man”, seeks to challenge the Great Enchanter whom he has characterized as the representative of all evil. It is only through a world of illusions that Quijana becomes fearless infantry soldier empowered to face the “bleak and unbearable world…vile and dissolute.” Quijana's worldview was that evil is rampant and that the weak are slaves to this evil and injustice. .. how to make a better world..." and "become a knight errant and set out... wander the world in search of adventures... right all wrongs, organize a crusade... to lift up the weak and needy ”. By becoming a knight he would have more power to prevent these “wrongs” from happening. In the film The Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote says: “he transformed the giant into a windmill… to prevent… half the paper… fight. She is a simple peasant among billions of people and by turning a person into a lady the world's problems were not solved and would never be solved. There will always be conflict and evil, and the constant battle between good and evil will always persist. Alonso thought he was a savior but ended up a broken man due to his false sense of chivalry and courage. Even his squire, Sancho, who thought he was on a great adventure fighting evil, fighting and escaping from his worldly life, now has to return to his wife who he fears because Quijana is dead and therefore has no one to guide him. For Sancho the adventure is over. Illusion simply acts as an absurd escape from reality. It can be said, however, that Aldonza ultimately offers some light as, through Quixote's imaginary Dulcinea, he acquires a certain self-esteem and seems to be on the road to redemption..’
