Voltaire And Machiavelli
Number of words: 1535 - Number of pages: 6.... agreeable of all possible Castles (Candide 2)

It seems as though Voltaire is condemming metaphysics and theology in general. "Pangloss was a professor of metaphysico-theologico-cosmolo-nigology (1). The name alone seems to poke fun at the entire branch of learning. A most appropriate example of this can be made of James, a man who takes in the starving Pangloss and Candide most generously. As the men are on a trip, he is thrown over the side of the ship off the Cape of .....

"Tom Robinson's powerful shoulders rippled with his right hand on the back
of his chair. He looked oddly off balance, but it was not from the way he
was standing. His left arm was fully twelve inches shorter than his right,
