It is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes and considered the greatest novel ever written (never read it myself, but oh well.)
It is about a man who was arrested and is awaiting the Spanish Inquistion. But before that his fellow prisoners put him on trial for everything he has. His defence? A musical. ( which makes this a musical within a play) And In this musical he becomes a man named Don Quixote de La Mancha and sallys forth into the world to right all wrongs. While "Don Quixote" is a knight errant out to dream the impossible dream, his friends back at home are trying to find a way to bring Alonso Quixana back from madness and to realize he is not a knight and is not "Don Quixote". On His adventures he finds a girl named Aldonza, who is the centuries equalivent to a prostitute. He falls in love with this woman but part of the Knight's code is to "Love, pure and chaste from afar." He calls Aldonza "Dulcina" and treats her as if she is a delicate virgin princess. Which confuses her as she has always been treated like trash. He says all victories are in her name and would gladly die for her.

So Dulcina is something you love and hold in the higest esteem. For me it is Theater.
