Dulcinea was revealed to be a figment of Puss in Boots’ imagination, created by his own fear of being alone.
In the animated film “Puss in Boots” (2011), Dulcinea does not appear as she is a character from the classic literature “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes. However, in the spin-off TV series “The Adventures of Puss in Boots,” Dulcinea is a central character. She is a kind-hearted and naive cat living in the town of San Lorenzo, a mythical land invisible to the outside world due to a magical spell.
Throughout the series, Dulcinea and Puss in Boots share a close relationship, with Puss often trying to impress her with his heroic deeds. In the final season, it is revealed that Dulcinea is the chosen one, destined to protect the town of San Lorenzo. She gains magical powers and plays a crucial role in the series’ climax, where she helps to defeat the series’ antagonists and restore peace.
The revelation of Dulcinea being a figment of Puss’s imagination is not part of the main “Puss in Boots” film or “The Adventures of Puss in Boots” series. It could be a reference to the original “Don Quixote” story, where Dulcinea is an idealized woman whom Don Quixote pledges his love and service, though she may not actually exist in the way he imagines. In the context of Puss in Boots, any such revelation would be a creative twist introduced in a different adaptation or work that draws inspiration from the original characters.
