Candide is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply "optimism") by his mentor, Professor Pangloss.
Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Le.
Voltaire describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide\'s slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world.
