Short Summary Of Candide
Candide falls in love with the baron's young daughter, CunГ©gonde. The baron catches the two kissing and expels Candide from his home. On
his own for the first time, Candide is soon conscripted into the army of the Bulgars. He wanders away from camp for a brief walk, and is brutally
flogged as a deserter. He manages to escape and travels to Holland.
In Holland, a kindly Anabaptist named Jacques takes Candide in. Candide runs into a deformed beggar and discovers that it is Pangloss. Pangloss
explains that he has contracted syphilis and that CunГ©gonde and her family have all been brutally murdered by the Bulgar army. Jacques takes
Pangloss in as well. The three travel to Lisbon together, but before they arrive their ship runs into a storm and Jacques is drowned. Candide
and Pangloss arrive in Lisbon to find it destroyed by an earthquake and under the control of the Inquisition. Pangloss is soon hanged as a
heretic, and Candide is flogged for listening with approval to Pangloss's philosophy. After his beating, an old woman dresses Candide's wounds
and then, to his astonishment, takes him to CunГ©gonde. CunГ©gonde explains that though the Bulgars killed the rest of her family, she was
merely raped and then captured by a captain, who sold her to a Jew named Don Isaachar. At present, she is a sex slave jointly owned by Don
Isaachar and the Grand Inquisitor of Lisbon. Each of CunГ©gonde's two owners arrive in turn as she and Candide are talking, and Candide kills
them both. Terrified, Candide, the old woman, and CunГ©gonde flee and aboard a ship bound for South America. During their journey, the old
woman relates her own story. She was born the Pope's daughter but has suffered a litany of misfortunes that include rape, enslavement, and
cannibalism.
Candide and CunГ©gonde plan to marry, but as soon as they arrive in Buenos Aires, the governor, Don Fernando, proposes to CunГ©gonde.
Thinking of her own financial welfare, she accepts. Authorities looking for the murderer of the Grand Inquisitor arrive from Portugal in pursuit of
Candide. Along with a newly acquired valet named Cacambo, Candide flees to territory controlled by Jesuits who are revolting against the
Spanish government. After demanding an audience with a Jesuit
