| Private misfortunes make up the general good, so that the more private misfortunes there are, the greater is the general good.'(Pangloss)After being caught kissing the Baron's daughter Cunegonde, gullible ingenue Candide is evicted from the castle where he lives to find himself wandering a world awash with disease, injustice and slaughter. Can he reconcile what he sees and experiences with the optimistic philosophy of his mentor Pangloss, that they live in 'the best of all possible worlds' and that 'everything is for the best'? |
