He sets out with his friend the barber at one point to go find Don Quixote and bring him back. When they find him, he and the barber devise numerous plans that involve a variety of disguises to convince Don Quixote to return home. They are successful in bringing him back from his second expedition (in a cage), but cannot prevent him from leaving again with Sancho Panza on a third. For this reason, the priest and Sancho Panza do not get along very well, and the priest is often the butt of Cervantes' dislike of priests.
The barber, like the priest, is Don Quixote's friend and neighbor who plot to keep Don Quixote at home. He participated in the burning of the chivalrous books (Part 1, Chapter 6) and in the various disguises used to convince Don Quixote to return home. Barbers and their practices are found throughout the novel: Don Quixote steals a basin from a barber who had been wearing it on his head and mistakes it for the coveted prize of the golden helmet of Mambrino; as the guest of a duke, Don Quixote has his beard washed (the job of a barber in those days) by servants, who do so as a joke; and Sancho Panza is always stating his desire to have a shave. At this time, barbers also carried out minor surgical operations and were considered medical professionals.
Dulcinea del Toboso.
Her real name being Aldonza Lorenzo, Dulcinea is Don Quixote's "lady," to whom he dedicates his heart as well all his victories in battle. Dulcinea is really a peasant woman from the town of El Toboso, whom Don Quixote has seen only three or four times in his life, and who has no idea that she is the object of such admiration. It is hinted that Dulcinea is not the beautiful, gracious, and virtuous enchantress that Don Quixote believes her to be, but rather a stout, brawny woman with a loud voice and a slight mustache. Although she is referred to often, she never actually appears in the novel; after a trick played by Sancho Panza, Don Quixote takes her to be a peasant woman they pass on the road, and from then on believes that she has been "enchanted" so that she no longer looks or acts like the lovely lady he envisioned.
