Candide+1-6

Voltaire attacks several subjects, both specific and general, throughout //Candide//. Here is a list of some of those subjects:

1. Leibniz's and Pope's optimism 2. Class prejudice 3. Imperialim/Colonialism 4. Scientific/Philosophical explanations of the unknown 5. Religion and hypocrisy 6. Political corruption 7. Slavery 8. War 9. Your own qualification of a subject attacked in //Candide//

The focus during your reading of chapters 1-6 was on irony (as a general term, and also situational and dramatic irony), naive hero/persona, and non-sequitor. Choose **__two__** of the subjects listed above and write a paragraph-long analysis for each subject in which you explain how Voltaire uses one of the three above literary techniques to ridicule each of the subjects you have chosen.
