Spoiler Alert!!

           

            All my previous posts have been about satire, irony, comparisons, and events of the book. For a change, I will talk about what I haven't liked so far. The book is interesting, entertaining, and it certainly has very unexpected events, not to mention the constant satire. However, even though the book has a lot of pros, I will now talk about the cons.

            In many occasions, I have written about certain events of the book that I find astonishing, unexpected, important, or interesting. For instance, the story of the Old lady, the death and return of Lady Cunégonde, and the murdering of Cunégonde's brother as well as Candide's escape. Even though these are some of the many events that have left me breathless, there are certain things I don´t like. For instance how every chapter's sub tittle basically tells you what is going to happen in one sentence. Just like  Connor said in one of his blogs, tittles give it away. Of course, if you read the chapter you know much more detail including what happened before or after the event the tittle spoiled for you, but you know the mayor event of the chapter before reading it.

            As I commented in Connor's post, even though the chapters's sub tittles spoil the event, after reading the chapter there is always something else that is either important, interesting, or unexpected. You can also look at it this way: As soon as you start reading a chapter, you already know what will happen, but it really doesn't make much of a difference because all you have to read is a maximum of four or five pages. Also, by knowing what will happen in each chapter, the amount of extra details you get after reading it is not much because Voltaire's way of writing doesn't give away many detailed descriptions or detailed. The events are just clearly stated and easy to imagine.
