1. The other traditional attitudes and beliefs that Voltaire satirized in his book, <em>Candide</em>, are optimism, religion, avarice, power, politics, among others.

2. I think that Voltaire was very much on target for all time, not only for the eighteenth century.  This is because all the great evils that he isolated and wrote against are still present in our society today.

  • Boredom is still felt by human beings till date amidst massive industrialization and mass productive activities.  People are still bored with our activities on earth because we do not understand our purpose for being.  According to St. Augustine, we cannot find rest until we rest in our Creator God.

  • Vice and poverty have not been eradicated with all the technological advances of the modern world.  Rejection of religion will not solve our human problems.  It is the rejection of all evils and the acceptance of good that will savage our abject human condition.

Thus, Voltaire will further single out these evils in today's society.  He will even single out more, like the Holocaust, the World Wars, the buildup of atomic and nuclear bombs.

The Black Death was a disturbing and emotional period during the 1380s. How was this demonstrated in the arts?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Artists viewed the as a tragic thing so they made paintings to warn the near future about such things happening. Evidence shows what emotion the artist felt  As of right now some may write a book about this pandemic and how he/she viewed it  

Explanation:

Healing power

In the 17th Century, many people believed that imagination had the power to harm or heal. The French artist Nicolas Poussin painted The Plague of Ashdod (1630-1631) in the middle of a plague outbreak in Italy. In a recreation of a faraway tragic biblical scene, which provokes feelings of horror and despair,  

The plague of smallpox devastated Japan over many centuries. An artwork created in 1892 depicts the mythical Samurai warrior Minamoto no Tametomo resisting the two smallpox gods, variola major and variola minor. The warrior, known for his endurance and fortitude, is portrayed as strong and confident, clothed with viscerally red ornate garments and armed with swords and a quiver full of arrows. In contrast, the fleeing, frightened, colourless smallpox gods are squeezed helplessly into the corner of the image.

Navigating pain through the self-portrait

Modern and contemporary artists have created self-portraits to make sense of their own plague suffering, while simultaneously contemplating the transcendent themes of life and death.

When the Spanish Flu hit Europe just after World War One, Norwegian artist Edvard Munch became one of its victims. While his body was still grappling with the flu, he painted his trauma – pale, exhausted and lonely, with an open mouth. The gaping mouth echoes his most famous work, The Scream, and perhaps depicts Munch’s difficulty breathing at the time. There is a strong sense of disorientation and disintegration, with the figure and furniture blending together in a delirium of perception. The artist’s sheet looks like a corpse or a fitful sleeper, tossing and turning in the night. Unlike some of Munch’s previous depictions of illness, in which he portrays the sick person’s loved ones waiting with anxiety and fear, the artist here portrays himself as the victim, who has to endure this plague isolated and alone.
