Seeking after the traditions of the knights-errant of old, Don Quixote finds a true love who he calls Dulcinea. She is a simple peasant in his home town, but Quixote imagines her to be the most beautiful of all women. In the Spanish of the time, Dulcinea means something akin to an overly elegant "sweetness". In this way, Dulcinea is an entirely fictional person for whom Quixote relentlessly fights. To this day, a reference to someone as your "dulcinea" implies hopeless devotion and love for her.
