Line 67:
* ''[[Don Quixote (Literature)|Don Quixote]]'' is a [[Deconstruction]] of, among other things, Knights Errant.
** The musical based on the novel is less tragic, and more of an [[Affectionate Parody]].
* [[Wuxia]] novels, films, plays, etc. are full of such figures, and the term even translates to something like "wandering knight." This derives from
* The protagonist of ''The Last Knight'' is a knight errant who lives about 200 years after errantry has gone out of fashion. His squire is a former con man who at first comes along mostly because it keeps him out of jail, and later to look after his employer, who's prone to [[Honor Before Reason]].
* [[The Dark Tower|Roland Deschain]] embodies this trope. Although he has a very specific mission/obsession, he explains that he'll never get to the Dark Tower unless he acts as part of "The White." This means he's obligated to fight evil wherever and whenever he finds it.
