Candide- Analysis Questions
Voltaire presents many out of the ordinary and ridiculous characters. Each character has a dramatic untold story, which they reveal to the reader. Furthermore, the characters have unimaginable and sad stories; however, these backgrounds present the characters as unrealistic beings to the reader. For example, the old woman is a character that presents an unreasonably bad story. She fell from a high-class, rich position only to be enslaved and raped by many men, and to finally have half her buttocks eaten. So much bad and unfortunate events strike one person that the character seems outlandish and absurd. Even though the characters are unrealistic they do have depth. The ludicrous stories and backgrounds of each character give them depth along with their satirical relevance.
Dante’s Inferno
Dante Alighieri’s work, The Inferno, is a classic written in the 1300’s, which has become today’s Bible of Hell. This allegorical writing is connected by the theme of evil. In The American Heritage Dictionary, evil is defined as something that causes harm, misfortune or destruction, or something that is bad or wrong. Dante does understand the essential meaning of evil; however, he breaks up his view of evil into levels, which tells the reader that he believes that not all evil is the same, and each sin has a respective punishment. Although Dante’s interpretation is from the 1300s, his idea of evil is still manifest in today’s society.
