A Series of Unfortunate Events in Voltaire's Candide

In Candido, a series of unfortunate events came to the main character (Candido) to prove the absurdity of his mentoring philosophy. In other words, he has the best life in the world. The main purpose of Panglos philosophy is that there is a positive aspect of producing the best results, even if it seems not to be evil or optimal. In other words, there are no second best results or adverse events. When Pangloss was infected with syphilis, Candide showed this spiritual absurdity, when Candide's benefactor drowned in Lisbon, Pangloss finally tried to prove these two things through his philosophical lens.

According to Westphalian (Voltaire 293), Voltaire opened Candide, stating Pangloss' s optimistic philosophy "If there is no reason it will be ineffective, which is the best possible". Unfortunately, Candide was expelled from Westphalia by the teachings of Pangloss and he visited the neighboring town who met two generous Bulgarian soldiers who seemed to be examples of Pangloss teachings. After listening to this news, Candid is dedicated to these 'smart' soldiers. But the best on all possible worlds of Candide includes brutal beatings, endless training and awful treatments. Continuing his journey, Candide continues to show his beliefs about Pangloss' s optimistic philosophy that everything is the best. When cockroaches arrived in the Netherlands, frankness was ignored until James Anabapest returned frankly. The next day, Candide is approached by another cockroach, turns out to be Pangloss, and this time it becomes syphilis.

Voltaire's frankness? The hero Candide did not live happily because he was looking for something outside himself and his own environment. Through the ultimate discovery of Candide, Voltaire said that happiness is dependent on one's attitude in many ways. Voltaire's philosophy, finally achieved through Candide, is "we must cultivate our garden", which is the key to happiness (p. 58). By plowing our garden Voltaire means we have to make the most of it ... Voltaire's Candide Candide reflects the philosophical value of Enlightenment. Voltaire's novelistic work satirized the ideology of the former regime, criticizing the political, social and religious ideals of the time. A common feature of enlightenment is anti-feudalism. Philosophers oppose the separation of the old regime and promote equality among people. Voltaire repeatedly imitated the nobility's exaggeration throughout the process.
