Absurd yet True

Cunégonde has suffered a great deal, even more than Candide . Since there separation nothing has gone right, and there’s no other way than saying it but Cunégonde is now, “afraid Pangloss cruelly deceived me when he told me that all is for the best in this world” (43). Cunégnde has suffered a great deal and what Pangloss use to say doesn’t convince here anymore because if what has happened to here is for the best of all possible worlds, what is the worst of all possible worlds? She believes she has nothing to hope for in life but her servant Abigail sure does teach her to be grateful. Yes, Cunégonde has suffered, but yet no one has suffered like Abigail. These two women are perfect examples of the maltreatment of women thought history by men.
