  • Cultivate Our Garden Conclusion Of The Story Pangloss
    774 words
    In Voltaires Candide, the author uses the conclusion of the story to relate to the beginning to convey the message that philosophical rationalism is bad, and moreover optimism. Voltaire accomplishes this by piling tragic events one after another throughout the story rejecting Pangloss idea that all is for the best. Furthermore, Candide concludes that both the teachings of Dr. Pangloss and Martins theory are both wrong and that we must cultivate our garden. (Voltaire, 585). To begin with, Voltair...

    ... the end, Candide has come to learn the harsh lesson that Voltaire is putting forward (2). Having been subject to various calamities and philosophies, he finally gets it! The point is that though society, including Lady Cunegonde, may be corrupt, we (as individuals of free choice) must cultivate our garden (Voltaire 120). Garden, in this context, is a metaphor for whatever the reader considers an ideal situation. Voltaire is trying to say that the goodness of Providence is the only asylum in ...

  • Voltaire Rejected Lebitizian Optimism Voltaire Rejected Lebitizian Candide
    827 words
    Everything happens for the best, in this the best of all possible worlds. This is a statement that can be found many times within Voltaires Candide. Voltaire rejected Lebitizian Optimism, using Candide as a means for satirizing what was wrong with the world, and showing that, in reality, this is not the best of all possible worlds. The philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz, which Voltaire called optimism, is one of the main themes of Candide. The two main points of Leibnitzian philosophy are ...

    691 words
    Candide and Cunegonde (1) It is not simply a coincidence that the main character of Voltaires novel is named Candide. This name translates as white from the Latin. Apparently, Voltaire wanted to emphasize the idealistic properties of protagonists character. Throughout the novel, author mentions Candide as being blonde-haired, which corresponds to the fact that Candide resisted his life-philosophy becoming more pragmatic. We can say that the character of Candide is nothing but the embodiment of p...

    Irony in the Eighteenth Century It is common knowledge, that a lot of methods of expressiveness are common used in literature. Among them, undoubtedly, we may outline an irony.

It was his comic masterpiece, Candide. 4 Voltaire had long opposed the extreme optimism of many people of his time that was expressed in the belief that this is the "best of all possible worlds" and that all that happens is for the best. How could the loss of more than 30, 000 lives in an earthquake be for the best? What place did the slaughter of the Seven Years War that ravaged Europe from 1756 to 1763 have in the best of all possible worlds? Voltaire's discussion of these quest...

    Candide Philosophy of Voltaire- What is the ideal situation in life? The question often arises, for what purpose was man placed upon the earth? It seems, in this satirical work, that Voltaire is focusing mainly on remodeling the mental limitations of mans outlook on life. It quickly becomes evident that the target of his satire, as the title suggests, is the concept of philosophical optimism. His exaggerated tales of the horrors which his characters endure, attack the idea that everything always...

    804 words
    While Voltaires Candide is heavily characterized by the primary concerns of the Enlightenment, it also criticizes certain aspects of the movement. It attacks the strain of optimism, religion, women, nobility, and colonialism. The name of the barony, Thunder-ten- trench, a guttural name that sounds almost primitive, mocks pretensions of nobility. It is not an especially rich barony, as the castle boasts few luxuries, and the baron wastes much of his time in idle frivolities. He lives off the labo...
