You can say that the theory of Pangloss that everything is for the best in the world starts to get a little tiring for Candide to think now that he has suffered so much, his benefactor and teacher are now both dead, and Cunégonde is now dead. And he questions it: “‘if this is the best of all possible worlds,’ he said to himself ‘what can the rest be like [. . .]” (37) Candide is no longer optimist, there for he no longer is Candide, which means he is lost in all senses, until someone bring his faith and optimism back in to the world, an old women gives him medical care and food and later reunites him with Cunégonde. Who is truly the one who was sending the kind old women to attended Candide, “It is not my hand you should be kiss”(38), as said by the old women giving us a clue that she was sent by someone who cared for Candide.
