Candide

Pangloss might be my favorite literary character of all time. War, earthquakes, and even being hanged cannot change his positive disposition. At times it is ridiculous, however, in this particular story I think his attitude is quite necessary. Candide on the other hand is irritating. He is the exact opposite of enlightened. If he brings up what he thinks Pangloss would say in a given situation one more time I might just go crazy.
