In the beginning of this book, Candide is introduced to us but most importantly, he’s love towards Lady Cunégonde. Candide is kicked out of his house because of his love toward this lady and here is where he’s journey begins. Candide is totally poor until he reaches a tavern in which a person sees him and because of his height gives him money an food. "We´ll pay your share, and what’s more we shall not allow a man like you to go short on money." (PG 23). This is totally absurd, how come people just give away their money to Candide just because of his height?
Voltaire Mocks a lot of different aspects of life and society in this book, he starts up mocking the incredible riches that nobles had a long time ago. He describes Lady Cunégondes castle as the best place in "Westphalia" because "it has a door and a number of windows". Riches back in that time were counted imprecise metals such as gold. Around chapter four, Candide finds his old teacher and the best philosopher in Westphalia called Pangloss in the floor totally ruined and in the verge of death. How come the wisest of all the people in Westphalia is in such a state?
Candide seems to find people who help him everywhere he goes, after the first encounter with the men in the tavern who paid for his meal and gave him money; he finds an Anabaptist that helped him and Pangloss. This Anabaptist sailed away with them in a voyage in which their ship was attacked and everybody survived except for the Anabaptist who drowned to death. What is Candide future, will he find a new life or will he fight for his love?
