Two approaches to the familiar and the strange

Two approaches to the familiar and the strange:  Michel de Montaigne’s Essays and Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quijote (Quixote) both address the customary and the unfamiliar, the quotidian and the exotic, and typical vs. extraordinary human activities. Draw parallels and contrasting reflections from the two works, using specific examples to illustrate your points.  If there are any fools in either Montaigne or Quijote  that are found also in either Brant, Erasmus, or both, indicate the similarities and parallels or divergences.
