sense of poetry. Its line...

can not help but notice the role of women in these
works. In Voltaire s Candide, the reader clearly
sees that he is trying to evoke sympathy from the
reader towards women. Voltaire depicts this image
with two main characters, Cunegund and the old
woman. Ford Madox Ford s The Good Soldier,
represent women in a different light unlike that
of Voltaire. Ford depicts women as taking
advantage of men for their own benefit. This is
clearly seen when Flo...
