George Lucas (critic who confronts objective reality in the world)
Samuel Coleridge is not a Marxist (critic who believes imagination is central in text)

- Not about artistic quality.
- DQ becomes more sympathetic to the class while Sancho becomes more sympathetic to the aristocratic elements of Aristocracy.
