My first impulse is to wonder to what extent Quixote truly was free. On the one hand, he adhered to a strict code of chivalry (and a large dose of enchantment) which guided him to some specific actions. On the other hand, he wasn't ensnared by too much deliberation--'analysis paralysis' or what you will--in his behavior.

La libertad, Sancho, es uno de los más preciosos dones que a los hombres dieron los cielos; con ella no pueden igualarse los tesoros que encierra la tierra ni el mar encubre; por la libertad así como por la honra se puede y debe aventurar la vida, y, por el contrario, el cautiverio es el mayor mal que puede venir a los hombres

Cervantes was a prisoner of war for a number of years before he published don quixote so I'm guessing this quote draws upon his personal experience...

And the one character they meet - can't remember his name atm - is almost a direct stand in for Cervantes himself, their life stories are very similar
