Candide
|
|
|
In the Candide reading we find that Dr. Pangloss is very optimistic and sees things as being the “best of all possible worlds,” yet to us these things that he encountered would not be the best of all possible worlds. For example, Dr. Pangloss is ravaged with syphilis, nearly dissected, nearly hanged, imprisoned but yet keeps on being optimistic through all of these ordeals and claims that it is still the best of all possible worlds. Dr. Pangloss’s philosophy would be wrong cause if this world were the best of all worlds then there would be no reason for fighting wars cause everything would be great and all hunky-dory and nothing would ever be wrong in the world. The one optimistic reading from chapter ten that I have chosen is reading 3, its title is “Years of the Modern,” by Walt Whitman.
