Candide Chapters 3 and 4

I loved the way that Voltaire embodies reality in this chapters. When talking about war, the truth is that both sides lose. Apparently there is a winner, but in the end both sides have lost lifes, they´ve created destruction and desperation. It is obvious how he criticizes and attacks religion. I believe he tries to be respectfull towards it, by not putting direct arguments. He decides to convert his religious discomfort, into a story that in the low makes people understand it´s real meaning. At the same time, Voltaire creates a character (Jacques the Anabaptist) that is neutral and that in a way portrays the god in this world, the good in human kind.
