Questions Create a link to your own page (first name, last initial, Candide page numbers) on the pages below. Then copy and paste these questions, and answer them: 1. What are the three biggest targets of Voltaire's satire in these pages? Discuss, and give evidence by quoting exact passages. 2. Does Swift, in //Gulliver's Travels,// attack any of the targets you identified in question 1? Find passages from Swift's book as evidence. Then write a paragraph for each one, and discuss the similarities and/or differences. 3. Write from each of the starred roles in our literature circles, and discuss your section from each point of view.

Answers 1. I am not perfectly sure, but I think the the three targets in these pages were, greed of mankind, sexism, and nationalism. The reason I think it was because, Mademoiselle Cunegonde was thinking about marrying the Governor who had the extremely long name due to protection. But it works other way too. He wanted her as well, so I think he had greed for her even if she had a lover. The second target may be a slight bit of sexism. As Cacambo said in page 34, woman are never at loss. This indicates that women might be superior over men. The last target I think is nationalism. When Candide and Cacambo arrives in the Jesuit kingdom where the son of Baron lives, the guards there told him that Spaniards, page 35. I think that was nationalism in a way, or more like racism against Spaniards.

2. Well Swift of Gulliver's Travel attacks some of the factors I listed above.

Greed Greed can be easily found among the yahoos on the hyumhm island. The example I found was on page 2149. If you look there, on the top half of the page, you will find a passage like this one, "For, if (said he) you throw among five Yahoos as much food as sufficient for fifty, they will instead of eating peaceably, fall together by the ears, each single one impatient to have all to it self." In Candide, The minister of long names tried to shoo Candide away do he could have her all for himself.

Sexism In the Hyumhm world, the hyumhms criticize how it is inhumane to teach different subjects from male to female. In the Yahoo community, I think female Yahoos rule over the males because she is the one to admit the male whil she is pregnant. "Had their females in common; but in this they differed, that the she-Yahoo would admit the male while she is pregnan; and that hes would quarrel and fight with the femaleas fierce as with each other." In Candide, there is no respect for the females, the old woman was raped daily.

Nationalism In various parts of the story, we find England, Gulliver's home country being critisized. They Hymhm master always critisize Gulliver about his England as same as the giant king did. In Candide, France and all of Europe is basically hell.

3. New Critic- I think it is such a funny coincidence when Candide said the following: "Must I abandon you just when His Excellency the Governor was about to marry us!" just imaine the guy crying. "Women are never at loss" I think that is a bit sexism because it is saying men are the only ones that ever have to suffer.

Character Analyist- For the obvious part, Candide is the dynamic character. In the beginning, he believed that the world is the best of the worlds. In the end he just lives and tries to make this world the best. He was not always optimistic, as the story goes on, he get darker and darker.

Psychologist- I think Voltare wants to pass on the message you don't need money or beauty to be happy, I think it is about just enjoying life with what you have to the maximum.

Historian- The churches and the Popes were corrupted. As we can see the father of the old woman is a Pope. And the wars and all that could resemble the French Revolution's chaos.

Anthropologist- The old woman advices Cunegonde to marry the Governor of th long names because of his powers, that is dark. And we ca see how pope having a daughter means that the church is corrupted like crazy.

Philosopher King- I think this part of the story is about sticking to the stronger side is good when it is needed. Also beauty is a great weapon of massive destruction and instrument of safety.
