  3. Summary • Candide And Martin at dinner in Venice • Dinner with 6 Strangers • Cacambo – now a slave • Knowledge of Cunegonde • Knowledge of Stangers • Generosity from Candide

  4. Targets of Satire Love: • “Good heavens! Constantinople! But I’d fly to her even if she were in China! Let’s go!” –page 98 • “Candide paid no attention to these newcomers. His mind was occupied solely with going to Constantinople to find his dear Cunegonde.” –page 101

  5. Targets of Satire • Arrogance of the Aristocracy: • “I’m the King of Poland; the fortunes of war deprived me of my hereditary dominions, and my father suffered the same fate” –page 100 • “I was called ‘Your Majesty’; now I’m scarcely called ‘Sir’. I had money minted, and now I’m penniless; I had two Secretaries of State, and I now have only one valet…” page 100 • “Sire, Your Majesty may leave when he wishes: the ship is ready.” page 99 • “Who is this ordinary private individual, who can afford to give a hundred times as much as any of us, and actually gives it?” –page 100

  6. Rhetorical Terms • Irony • “Each of them made the unhappy Theodore a present of twenty sequins, and Candide gave him a diamond, worth just a hundred times that sum. ‘Who can this private person be,’ said the five Kings to one another, ‘who is able to give, and has actually given, a hundred times as much as any of us?”

  7. Rhetorical Terms Con. • Irony • “Nothing but the sight of Miss Cunegund could have given him greater joy and surprise. He was almost beside himself, and embraced this dear friend” • Exaggeration • “No matter if she were in China, I would fly thither.”
