Abstract

The theme in the novel Don Quijote de la Mancha has always been conflicting for a long history. Referring the view of Manuel, the reason for the divergence lies in Cervantes’s division of conscious creation and unconscious creation. The former clearly shows opposition and ridicule knight novels in his works, while the latter provides a wider space for explaining the theme of the novel. From the 17th century to the 19th century, researchers believed that the theme of the novel was to defend Christianity, criticize the real society, and eulogize idealism. In the 20st century, researchers’ interpretation of the theme of the novel is more unique and more diverse.
