Once more Voltaire uses satire to show the arrogance of the nobility. Don Fernando carries a very long list of names which Voltaire uses to mock the importance nobility gives to their titles: “the Governor, Don Fernando d’Ibaraa y Figueora y Mascarenes y Lampourdos y Souza, a nobleman with a degree of pride appropriate to one who bore so many names” (58), using hyperbole to show the arrogance of THE NOBILITY and a little sarcasm at the end is what gives it it’s spice. Attacking once again the nobility belief that they are naturally superior, and their belief that they get to have a good life without working for it. Between November 21, 1694 – May 30, 1778 lived the most free minded, satirical, and sarcastic person who has walked on this planet. All Voltaire does is mock optimism, religion, and aristocracy and nobles which is what makes the book so interesting and funny because if not the book would be merely telling the story of Candide which is simply-boring.
