Why was Voltaire's novel Candide banned in both Europe and the unites States

1 answer:

4 0

Voltaire's novel Candide was banned in both Europe and the United States because it opposed the government and the Catholic Church equally. It poked fun at hypocrisy in religion and made fun of the monarchy like ways France and other countries were run. Europe and specifically France was more upset at the way Candide portrayed the government and the Church, while the United States did not like the way it portrayed the Church. However, Candide was still an extremely popular book when it was banned.

The main characters in realistic fiction are usually dynamic; they undergo change and grow according to their experiences. Louis

Margarita [4]

The best part from Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” which best highlights the transformation that Louise undergoes is the following:

Mrs. Mallard thinks to herself about how she’ll mourn when she sees her husband’s dead body and how much he loved her. But she is a little excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

In this story she later dies after his presumed dead husband returns home to give her a big shock. The medical people that examine her come to the conclusion that she died of a heart attack caused by happiness.

I hope it helps, Regards.
