Romance of Voltaire's Candide
[ send me this essay ]
Candide was written as a satire and was attacking the existing, if stumbling, class system of France as well as the theocracy that ruled the intellectual advancement of the age. Also, Voltaire is known as a writer of the 'enlightenment', which is best described as one who was not afraid to make his opinions public, even when they were at odds with the ruling powers of monarchy or church. This 5 page paper asserts that the sexual and, or, romantic conduct of the characters in Candide is used to show the social hypocrisy and lack of compassion for women who have not had control of the circumstances of their lives and are nonetheless judged as 'immoral'. Voltaire is a hopeless romantic who believes in a just society and the obligations of duty and honor. No additional sources are listed.
