Goodness gracious I have never read a story quite like this one! We've already travelled across the world in only sixteen short chapters. One thing that annoys me is Candide's constant reference to Pangloss and his philosophies. It's almost like his version of What Would Jesus Do. Also, when someone dies, they never really are dead. Cunegond is alive, her brother is alive, and I'm sure Pangloss will somehow make a reappearance soon. I'm excited to see what happens in the next set of chapters that we read!
I commented on Hannah Senteney's post.

ReplyDeleteI feel the same way! Also, that is a great analogy for Pangloss! Candide and Cunegonde almost always refer to Pangloss as one would refer to a god.
