Through these first few chapters Candide and Pangloss are seen as complete fools for believing in everything to be optimistic and perfect. Even through the trials and pain they went through, they stuck with the philosophy Pangloss preached until his death. It is when this teaching is proven false that things start looking up for Candide as he is reunited with his love.
I relate to Candide in this sense that with my faith. I sometimes try to make everything seem like its happy and all smiles on the outside when all things are mass chaos. It is in that time that I need to cry out like Candide to God and ask for help because I don't know what I am doing. Just like the old women gave refuge so will my God to me. God will always show us a way out of the darkness.
