His adventures seem to come to a conclusion with his realization that his fantasies have not been productive. “Don’t die, your Grace, but take my advice and go on living for many years to come; for the greatest madness that a man can be guilty of in this life is to die without good reason, without anyone’s killing him, slain only by the hands of melancholy” (Cervantes 2486).
