A review by kay_ne
Candide by Voltaire

3.5

Only read Candide and not the other sections that is in the Backgrounds and Criticisms. 

In the version I had, read 81 pages and the ending was honestly disappointing/unsatisfactory, but I can see how peaceful it is compared to what the characters had gone through. Didn't understand a lot of the philosophical stuff. Story was alright - there were some funny parts.

Candide kept on getting scammed bruh and he literally didn't even want to marry Cunegonde anymore bc she became ugly?? The whole time he wanted to marry her and when he was given the chance he didn't want to anymore. But he still married her bc her brother refused it 😭 and then what they did to her brother like dang - I'm honestly dead
