摘要

"Voltaire,the French poet,dramatis,historian and philosopher was an outspoken and aggressive enemy of every injustice such as tyranny,bigotry,cruelty,but especially of intolerance.He was noted for his characteristic wit,satire,and critical capacity.His works are outstanding embodiment of principles of French Enlightment"(wangzuoliang,2007:240).The paper is analyzing the reasons leading to candide’s tragedy by exploring into the social background,the Christianity embodied in it and the contradiction between id and superego.
