Summary

"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 13" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, introduces a nobleman lost in a world of knightly fantasy, and also focuses on a complex side story about a man named Anselmo, who foolishly decides to test his wife's loyalty, resulting in a series of unfortunate problems. Driven by an irrational need for reassurance, Anselmo pressures his friend Lothario into attempting to seduce his wife, Camilla, even after Lothario strongly advises against this idea. The story highlights their friendship and the internal conflict that Lothario faces, even as he reluctantly agrees. This unwise decision leads to betrayal, broken trust, and demonstrates the destruction caused by one man's obsession.
