2. Chapter 6
Important events: - During the auto-da-fe, that was done in order to prevent another earthquake - Pangloss was sacrificed and killed - Candide was publically whipped for having agreed with Pangloss’ teachings - Old woman approaches, bloody and anguished, Candide and she tells him to follow her - Another Earthquake hit the city of Lisbon Satire: “The best of all possible worlds” is mentioned at the end of chapter six by Candide when he is comparing the natural catastrophes that are occurring and all of the bad things the Portuguese keep doing to the innocent people of Lisbon especially the life of Pangloss, Candides beloved friend who died for no reason. Historical Allusions: The historical illusion in chapter six is the auto-da-fe, that relates to those of the Mexican Inquisition that executed fifty people for practicing the religion of Judaism. They wanted the people of Mexico to convert to Catholicism therefore the Spanish Inquisition proceeded to persecute people to show the others of what would happen if they didn’t convert.

3. Chapter 7:
Summary: Candide follows the old woman whom gives him ointment, feeds and clothes him. She tells him to sleep and leaves but soon returns the next day to watch over him, which candide appreciates. She then takes him to a house and has him meet a women that has much jewelry on. He is surprised to find that she is Cunégonde. Candide and cunegonde faint but are brought back by the old woman. She admits that she was raped and her family was massacred. Candide also tells his story while Cunégonde listens attentively and asks to hear what has happened to Candide in the time since their kiss.
After her father’s castle is destroyed in war, a number of exploitative men enslave her or use her as a mistress.
Historical allusion: Rape of nanking : 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.

4. 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.

5. Chapter 9: Summary: Candide kills Issachar and inquisitor.
Candide, Cunegonde and the old woman flee to Aracena.

The holy brother hood

They have don’t have enough money, so they sell one of their horses and continue their journey through Spain. At Cadiz, a fleet is making preparations to fight the Jesuits who have revolted against the Kings of Spain and Portugal. Candide helps earns the rank of the captain because of his military experience with the Bulgarians.
