Satire Modeled After Candide

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 5 page satire that is fashioned after and inspired by Voltaire's Candide. The first 4 pages of the paper tell the story of Herbert, a good-hearted lad, congenial and sociable, which were qualities that he combined with the "utmost simplicity of mind" (Voltaire 3) and who follows his father to become ruler of his country, listens to bad advisers and embroils his country in yet another senseless war. The final page of the paper discusses which parts of Candide inspired the writer's satire. No additional sources cited.
