A noted philosopher Doctor Pangloss tutors the baron on philosophical optimism. Candide a simple man first accepts this philosophy but as he experiences the horrors of war poverty the maliciousness of man and the hypocrisy of the Church he begins to doubt the voracity of Pangloss�s theory. Thus philosophical optimism is the focus of Voltaire�s Satire; antiwar and antichurch refrains also run throughout the novel. Candide makes his way to a neighbouring town where he is aided by two soldiers. He is pressed into service and endures beating at the hands of his superiors. He was slapped in every direction by fate. In Paris Candide becomes ill and is attended by a variety of people all of whom want a piece of his fortune. He recovers but is tricked by an actress into giving away much of his fortune and is eventually arrested by the police.
