Discuss the relationship between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza in Don Quixote.

The story's depicted relationship between both of them is
one of leader and follower.  Quixote as the leader has his trusty Sancho to help him in
his endeavors.  Sancho is shown to be round and wise, while Quixote is gaunt and
idealistic. They both complement one another.  Thinkers like Carlos Fuentes in his work,
The Buried Mirror, have gone a bit further in asserting the
relationship between both.  Fuentes believes that the relationship between both
characters helps to develop the composite view of what it means to be human.  Quixote
believes in his ideals, while Sancho is looking for a place to sleep and good food. 
Quixote sees the monster, while Sancho recognizes the windmill.  Quixote seeks to uphold
the honor of a maiden who might not exist, while Sancho simply wants a good payoff at
the end.  The relationship between both characters represents the dynamic of what it
means to be human, to live for the promise of ideals while being chained to the reality
of one's predicament.
