Historical allusion: Rape of nanking 1937-1938: In December of 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army marched into China's capital city of Nanking. The soldiers proceeded to murder 300,000 out of 600,000 civilians and soldiers in the city.the savagery began, to show no signs of mercy by decapitating soldiers and displaying severed heads as souvenirs, mowed down by machine-gun fire while others were tied-up, soaked with gasoline and burned alive. Old women over the age of 70 as well as little girls under the age of 8 were dragged off to be sexually abused. More than 20,000 females (with some estimates as high as 80,000) were raped and then stabbed to death. Pregnant women were not spared. When women were raped sometimes their family was forced to watch then stabbed to death with bayonets or shot so they could never bear witness. satire: The old lady is like a Good Samaritan to Candide. Voltaire has pointed out the inhuman behavior of the society when he tells us that Cunégonde was raped and her family was massacred.

Chapter 8: Summary: Cunégonde describes how her family’s castle was invaded. She resisted a huge Bulgar as he raped her. He also stabbed her on the side of the leg while she tried to escape. The Bulgar captain came in and killed her father, brother, and mother. Then he took Cunégonde as a prisoner of war. Then the soldier sold Cunégonde to a Jew named Don Issachar. The Grand Inquisitor made Don Issachar give Cunégonde to him for four days of the week. While Don Issachar got Cunégonde on Monday, Wednesday, and Sabbath Day. Also Cunégonde watches Pangloss get hanged at the executions. Historical Allusion: "the old or the new law."The old law is the law of Moses, and the new law is the law of Christ. The uncertainty is in whether the night in question belongs to Saturday which is Jewish or to Sunday which is Christian. Satire: The standard action of "it pleased heaven" followed by a description of a brutal raid is satire on the belief that everything in the universe is ordered by God.

Chapter 9: Summary: Candide kills Issachar and inquisitor. Candide, Cunegonde and the old woman flee to Aracena. Historical Allusion: The holy brother hood satire: Anti-church satire
