In this paper, there is an examination of the thematic structure of Voltaire's "Candide" focusing on the first and final chapters. The paper discusses Voltaire's system of belief and his Enlightenment philosophy. The paper also notes his use of wit and irony.

From the Paper:

"Voltaire published the novel "Candide." At this time France was well on its way through the Enlightenment and Voltaire himself was sixty-five years old. Though "Candide" is often considered a representative work of the Enlightenment period in France, the truth is that while Voltaire did champion many aspects of the movement he satirizes other aspects of it in his work."
