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

English

Anna007 [38]3 years ago
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.

Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken? young men's love then lies No
Neporo4naja [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Who said that:

Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken? young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine Hath wash'd thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline! How much salt water thrown away in waste, To season love, that of it doth not taste! The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears; Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit Of an old tear that is not wash'd off yet

Answer:

Friar Laurence

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the question above is one of the words of Friar Laurence, a character from "Romeo and Juliet" who was very friendly and adviser to Romeo. Friar is questioning Romeo about the triviality of his passions, because the day before Romeo was suffering from love for Rosaline, but the next day he is in love with Juliet and he no longer remembered who Rosaline was.

"Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare and tells the story of forbidden love of two young people who have enemy families.

The bow of God's wrath is bent . . . it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise o
Natalija [7]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

The bow of God's wrath is bent . . . it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.

In this excerpt, the word “wrath” suggests that:

God wants to destroy the reader.

God is eager to wage war.

God is fiercely angry.

God is feeling extreme grief.

Answer: God is fiercely angry.

Explanation:

This excerpt from Jonathan Edwards´' Sinners in the hands of an angry god', uses the metaphor of the string of a bow being bent, meaning that an arrow is ready to be released, as a comparison with God being on the verge of killing men because of how angry he is with humanity´s sins or loss of faith in Christianity.
