What is a "modern" example of Don Quixote? Don Quixote acts in a way that is unfamiliar to the people around him. He wants to live like the characters that he admires. Who is a person, or group of people, who live their lies in a way that makes people think they are "crazy"? Are they crazy or is it something else?
I believe that Johnny Depp is a modern-day Quixote. He does whatever he wants and acts however he wants, and people think he is crazy because of it. In reality, though, he is a really good actor and creative mind, and he just thinks differently than the rest of us. He doesn't let these differences change who he really is, though, just like Don Quixote.
