The production adheres to heteronormative frameworks. The central romantic arc focuses on courtly love between Don Quixote and Dulcinea, with no same-sex intimacy present.

Narrative structures reinforce traditional romantic dynamics and chivalric tropes. While female dancers show technical mastery, the story relies on idealized, passive female archetypes.

Casting reflects the Eurocentric origins of the ballet. The ensemble maintains a traditional Western aesthetic without race-bent casting or non-Anglo-Saxon perspectives.

The film celebrates Western classical tradition and European literature. It reinforces the preservation of high culture rather than engaging with contemporary systemic critiques.

Quixote’s madness serves as a literary device for comedy and tragedy. It lacks the nuance required for a progressive exploration of neurodivergence.
