A 112-foot-tall monument in a Madrid plaza depicts a writer seated above bronze statues of these 2 characters

Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza

Final Jeopardy Explanation 

The 112-foot-tall monument is located in Plaza de España in Madrid and depicts the renowned writer Miguel de Cervantes. Seated above bronze statues of his two famous characters, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, the monument honors Cervantes’ contribution to literature, particularly through his seminal work, “Don Quixote.” This literary masterpiece is often considered the first modern novel and remains a pivotal work in Western literature. The statues of Don Quixote, often portrayed mounted on his horse, Rocinante, and Sancho Panza, typically shown on his donkey, capture the essence of their adventures and the profound thematic exploration of reality and idealism in Cervantes’ writing. The monument itself is a major cultural and tourist attraction, symbolizing the literary heritage and artistic contributions of Spain.
