Chapter 2-5
Candide runs into a deformed beggar and discovers that it is
Pangloss. He maintains his optimistic outlook. Jacques takes Pangloss in as
well. The three travel to Lisbon together, but before they arrive their ship
runs into a storm and Jacques is drowned. Candide and Pangloss finally arrive
at Lisbon and to their surprise, it has been destroyed and whipped out by a
massive earthquake under the control of the Inquisition. Pangloss is soon
hanged as a heretic, and Candide is flogged for listening with approval to
Pangloss’s philosophy.
