Don Quixote chapters 28-35

In chapter 30, the priest and Cardenio are talking about Don Quixote. On page 279, the priest says:

"If we leave aside the absurdities that the good hidalgo come out with concerning his mania, in conversations on other subjects he talks with great good sense, and shows himself to have a clear and balanced judgement."

This quote was interesting to me because it seems that the other characters were seeing something true and honest in Don Quixote's motives, despite his madness. It seems that they see Don Quixote's motivations are to help people despite his delusions.

In chapter 32, the group is back at the inn and they are discussing the madness of Don Quixote, with the priest blaming the books about chivalry. In response, the innkeeper defends the books:

"I don't understand how that can be so, because in my mind there isn't a better read in the world." (page 290)

The innkeeper, his wife and their daughter defend the stories of chivalry on the grounds of bringing pleasure to them and the people that go though the inn.

In both these examples, it seems to me that there are indications of what might be positive about Don Quixote's quest for chivalry.
