Liberation of the Galley Slaves

From Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
Quixote frees a chain gang of convicts, arguing no man should be forced into servitude; they repay him by stoning him, illustrating the clash of ideal justice with reality.
Part 1, Chapter 22

Quixote declares 'it seems to me hard to make slaves of those whom God and nature made free' before being attacked by the freed criminals.
