Is there Such a person?
Is there such a person who can free anyone from reality? Don Miguel de Cervantes who also played Don Quixote knight of La Mancha in the play Man Of La Mancha (written by Dale Wasserman) liberated others from the bonds that chained them. He called them forth and set them free by giving them hope, seeing them as they should be and not as they were, and being extremely courteous.
Don Quixote was great at giving hope to the most unexpected people like Aldonza who was a prostitute. The first time Don Quixote met her he told her “Sweet lady… fair virgin… I dare not gaze upon thy countenance lest I be blinded by beauty.” (Wasserman p.22) this meant that he had fallen in love with her at first sight. Some might say Don Quixote was a crazy guy, but he knew full well what he was doing by the actions he did to go out of his way to give people hope, especially Aldonza by doing things like giving her a missive that stated:
Most Lovely sovereign and highborn lady-
The heart of this, thy vassal knight, faints for thy favor
Oh, fairest of the fair, purest of the pure;
Incomparable Dulcinea-
I beg thee grant that I may kiss the nethermost hem
Of thy garment-
-And send me a token of thy fair esteem that
I may carry as my standar
