Candide: Doctor Pangloss
built 655 days ago
The tale of Candide begins in the castle of the Baron Thunder-ten-tronckh in Westphalia, home to the Baron's daughter, Lady Cunégonde, bastard nephew Candide, a tutor, Pangloss, a chambermaid, Paquette, and the rest of the Baron's family. The protagonist, Candide, is a child of "the most unaffected simplicity", whose face is "the index of his mind".[13] He is drawn romantically to Cunégonde, a character thought to be modeled after Voltaire's mistresses: his niece Marie Louise Mignot Denis and the scientist Émilie du Châtelet. Cunégonde may be associated symbolically with Eve, as Candide with Adam (see Gardens),[39]

On the voyage, Candide recognized two of the galley slaves aboard the ship: one turned out to be his beloved Pangloss and the other Cunegonde’s brother. Both were alive and well! The brother had survived the wound Candide had thought fatal, and the tutor-philosopher had escaped hanging in Lisbon due to the bungling hangman’s ineptness in tying a proper knot. To Candide’s dismay, Pangloss still clung to his optimistic views.

........Candide and Pangloss conclude that man was born to labor gainfully. They all then work the farm, cook, embroider, build, and bring in bumper crops. Pangloss observes that all the events leading up to their success with the farm prove that this is the best of all possible worlds after all.

After a number of misadventures, Candide meets up with Pangloss in Portugal where they are arrested by the Spanish Inquisition for their liberal proclamations. Pangloss is to be hanged, but Candide evades punishment and, with the help of an Old Lady, is reunited with Cunegonde. She had not been killed but abducted, and is now the mistress of two wealthy men. Candide inadvertently kills the two men and the three escape.

In the twenty-seventh chapter, Candide, Martin and Cacambo reunited, board a ship to Constantinople, on which Cacambo relates Cunégonde's status: she is washing dishes for a Prince of Transylvania, and she's become ugly. On the way to rescue her, Candide again finds Pangloss and Lady Cunégonde's brother the baron rowing the galley. Candide buys their freedom and further passage at steep prices.[42]

The following day Candide met up with a wretched beggar who turned out to be his old tutor, Pangloss. Pangloss had shocking news for Candide: his beloved Cunegonde had been stolen away, raped, and disemboweled by Bulgar soldiers. The disheartened young man wept uncontrollably.
