These strange figures defiantly penetrate the frontier between \"fiction\" and \"reality\" as they swirl about the reading gentleman, threatening and seducing him. The person of Alonso Quijano\/Don Quixote himself begins to undergo a metamorphosis, as he becomes a liminal character partaking in both realms. In his excitement he falls to one knee, points to a passage of his open book, and looks directly at the viewer. His body is substantial, but his hair defies the laws of gravity as it stands straight on end, \"as if an electric current shot out of his sick cranium.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe identity of the phantasmagorical creatures is much more richly multivalent when set within both the iconographic tradition of Don Quixote and Goya's own iconography of satyrs, witches, and flying creatures escaped from nightmares. – Critical Images The Canonization of Don Quixote – Rachel Lynn Schmidt, 1990\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Quixote charging the windmills In A.D.
