Truth Be Told...

James a good hearted fellow who has been very charitable with Pangloss and Candide, “On the voyage Pangloss explains to him how all was designed for the best. James did not share this view” (31). James said how men were given such and always wanted something more they were not supposed to have, but always got it by themselves. Even with these believes about men James was kind and was very charitable with those in need, at his death Voltaire is showing how men like James were outnumbered by those men who acted like this sailor who is selfish and evil. Voltaire is no twenty-first script writer, were the good guy always win, he is a philosopher of the enlightment having no mercy on us and laying at our feet the truth.
