Cunegonde's brother is never named in the book
CunΓ©gonde's brother's name in "Candide" is Maximilian.
Candide kills the Grand Inquisitor and spares Cunegonde's brother.
Because he is not of noble birth, and has no traceable family roots.
Candide is a naive and optimistic young man who is quickly disillusioned by the harsh realities of the world. Cunegonde is a beautiful and seductive woman who endures a series of unfortunate events that shape her character. Pangloss is a philosopher who embodies blind optimism and rationalizes every negative situation with his belief in the "best of all possible worlds."
Candide Franklyn's birth name is Candide Regan Franklyn.
Candide was a satire written by Voltaire. It's about a lot of things, but the story primarily makes fun of some of the philosophies at the time (as seen by Pangloss and his ridiculous idea that this is the best of all possible worlds) and points out the hypocrisy in religious organizations at the time (like the Grand Inquisitor who owned Cunegonde, the friar who spent his money on prostitutes and the Baron who owned slaves)
The cast of Candide - 1991 includes: June Anderson as Cunegonde Simon Bainbridge as First Choir Soloist Alexander Barantschik as Leader: London Symphony Orchestra Leonard Bernstein as Commentator Andrew Farrow as Choir Croupier Jerry Hadley as Candide Della Jones as Paquette Christa Ludwig as The Old Lady Aileen Perris as Third Choir Soloist London Symphony Chorus as Chorus London Symphony Orchestra as Orchestra
Voltaire uses the character of Dr. Pangloss to mock the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhem von Leibniz who basically believed that because God created everything in the world for the good of man, if evil is in the world, then God created it for the good of mankind, so all is for the best. The foolish and persistent belief of Pangloss' philosophy by Cunegonde and Candide tries to taunt and degrade the blind optimism of Leibniz.
