Introduction

Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778), French Enlightenment scribe, detractor, essayist, historian, and philosopher composed Candide; Human grandeur, said Pangloss, (Voltaire & Morley 89) is very unsafe, if we accept as factual the testimonies of nearly all philosophers.

 Pangloss utilised now and then to state to Candide: There is a concatenation of all events in the best of likely worlds; for, in short, had you not been booted out of a fine palace for the love of Miss Cunegund; had you not been put into the Inquisition; had you not traveled over America on foot; had you not run the Baron through the body; and had you not lost all your sheep, which you conveyed from the good homeland of El Dorado, you would not have been here to consume maintained citrons and pistachio nuts. Excellently discerned, responded Candide; (Voltaire 9) but let us cultivate our garden. As his best-known work, Candide is a satirical written check on many topics like belief, beliefs, and government, in writing in the mordant wit and skepticism that Voltaire uses in so numerous of his works.

What is tolerance? it is the outcome of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly-that is the first regulation of nature.

Francois Marie Arouet was born in Paris, France, on 21 November 1694, the least old child born to notary François Arouet (1650-1722). As was his father's desires to pursue in his footsteps and go in the lawful occupation by a academic education, (Voltaire 116) he went into the Jesuit Collège Louis-le-Grand in 1704. For the next seven years, while under the guidance of Jesuit clerics, Voltaire's rebellious and interrogating essence evolved. He evolved a love of theatre and begun composing satirical verses regardless of firm censorship regulations of the time, some of which set down him in the infamous Bastille in 1717.
