Voltaire: Difference between revisions

All throughout <i>Candide we see characters being "resurrected". For example, Cunegonde's brother, the Jesuit Baron, is resurrected at the end of the story and also Master Pangloss.  Both of these men had supposably been killed earlier on in the story but show up in the end.  Candide was to have killed the baron with his sword when he slit his chest open. Pangloss was to have been hung and then burned, but got rescued from the actual burning. The rope that was around his neck was not tight enough, therefore he was still breathing. Also, Candide was badly beat but survived and was nursed back to health.  The entire story is really an example of resurrection because everyone was seperated at some point, but all of the main characters end up reunited back together.
