quixote-effect

Reference to the sensations that Sancho Panza (most loyal friend of Quixote) has once Quixote dies and a long-lasting adventure comes to an end.

"The quixote-effect made me want to become a drug-kingpin after watching Breaking Bad."
"I still cry when I watch The Truman Show because of the quixote-effect, it made me escape from my suffering in a lonesome period of my life."
"I cannot see a golden ring without thinking of The Lord of the Rings, I always wanted to become a hobbit... Damn you, quixote-effect!"
