Candide Homework Number 1

Candide is a very older book. With the language they are using I didn't understand much of it. What I did understand was that him and Cunegonde had stolen a kiss when they weren't supposed to. They got caught and Candide was not allowed to see Cunegonde again. Then, Cunegonde's castle was invaded and from what we know right now, Cunegonde and her mother father and brother were all killed. Later on, the old woman took Candide to Cunegonde and reunited them together. She was telling Candide about how she was raped and stabbed, but she had lived as a servant for a while. Cunegonde and the old woman had gotten into a temporary fight and Cunegonde said that the old woman had no idea how Cunegonde felt having to give up her status and family and riches. Then, the old woman had told her life story, which I thought, was worse than Cunegonde's.
