Don Quixote's fleeting encounter with the soldier-page after his dream vision in the Cave of Montesinos seems slightly enigmatic. Contrary to what could be called the rule of either astonishment (admiración) or laughter in Don Quixote, the page is neither surprised by the knight nor does he laugh at him. The young character's traits, and Don Quixote's attitude toward him, suggest that he is an anomalous character, not novelesque but real. The page thus appears to be a memory, reflection, or image of the author in his youth. The young man's indifference to Don Quixote is only logical, because he doesn't yet have the author's, or the character's, treasury of lived experience.
