How is Candide a satire?
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.
