He and the other servants informed their masters that their ships were ready for departure; each left promptly after delivering his message. Candide turns around and is ecstatic to see Cacambo.

    Candide wanders to the next town, where two men find him half-dead with hunger and fatigue. They give him money, feed him, and ask him to drink to the health of the king of the Bulgars. They then conscript him to serve in the Bulgar army, where Candide suffers abuse and hardship as he is indoctrinated into military life. When he decides to go for a walk one morning, four soldiers capture him and he is court-martialed as a deserter. He is given a choice between execution and running the gauntlet (being made to run between two lines of men who will strike him with weapons) thirty-six times. Candide tries to choose neither option by arguing that “the human will is free,” but his argument is unsuccessful. He finally chooses to run the gauntlet.…

    Many people were jealous of Antoinette and Louis’ marriage, including the King’s brother and cousin who thought Louis incapable of being a proper King, and were extremely jealous of his beautiful wife. Fabricated stories, including the Diamond Necklace Affair, circulated throughout France, mostly including Marie Antoinette’s private life and her supposed sexual acts with the men and women of the court. She was accused of sending funds to Austria and the French even challenged the paternity of the royal children. The Diamond Necklace Affair captured the entire nation’s attention since it questioned the morals of the French Queen. Lamotte was a beautiful woman, captivating to everyone, that convinced Prince de Rohan, the Cardinal of France, that Marie Antoinette was interested in obtaining a fabulously expensive diamond necklace made by Louis XV’s lover, Madame du Barry. Claiming she was the lesbian lover of Antoinette, Rohan obeyed Lamotte and went to Boehmer, the Queen’s jeweler to buy the diamond necklace. The charade unraveled when Boehmer went to Marie to collect the money needed to pay for the necklace and she refused. The King and Queen were shocked that Rohan actually believed such a flimsy story, and enraged that he went along with it. Though none of the accusations were true, the story circulated through Europe for many years after and the Queen’s reputations was damaged severely. After the accusations finally seceded, Marie was able to return to the life she was used to, being a devoted mother and wife. Sadly, at the same time her life regained normality, the state of France was in an uproar over their country’s financial issues. The poor were starving and Marie Antoinette’s small contributions to helping them were almost a lost cause. When told of the peasants and their…

    The first example revolves around Candide’s teacher Pangloss who is a supreme believer in the optimistic teachings of Leibniz. Pangloss had gone missing for a while but Candide soon finds him as a beggar with many sores all over his body. Pangloss explains that he had contracted syphilis from a servant in the Baron’s mansion. Now, usually any terrible disease is a bad thing but in Pangloss’ mind it is a good thing. He explains to Candide that syphilis comes from Columbus’ discovery of the New World and says that without it Europe would have never been able to benefit from the new discoveries made there. For example without syphilis…

    Rather than stay in this paradise with great food, music, and quality of life, they choose to leave at great expense to the inhabitants, and take gold and jewels with them. It is more appealing to live in the real world (portrayed as quite faulty by now), but to be rich than to live in paradise on a level plain with everyone else. The King warns that they are "foolish to leave" (46), but understands the value of their 'dirt and pebbles,' for which Europeans would "murder [them] to the last man" (44). Candide later regrets leaving El Dorado. Candide, throughout the entire novel, pursues the love of his life: Cunegonde. His is turned away at least twice, being denied her hand in…

    James Revel was brought up in what he states a good home, his parents sent him to school, however he later became a criminal and found himself sent across the Atlantic as a punishment for his offense. ‘Five of our number in our passage died, which were thrown into the Ocean wide’ shows how cruely they were treated before they even made it to Virginia. However, once they made it to land they were quickly transformed- ‘our faces shav’d, com’d out our wigs and hair’. ‘And in short time some men up to us came, some ask’d us our trades, and others ask’d our names. Some view’d our limbs, and others turn’d us round’- shows that the men who came looking for servants hardly saw them as humans, and Revel even states ‘examening like horses, if we’re sound.’ Once chosen by his new master, Revel was ‘loaded with a chain’ and had ‘Europian clothes were took from me, which never after I again…
