Very very interesting. I am glad to have read this classic! It kept my attention. It had very interesting conversation about how to view suffering, both yours and others’. And how in the world were Pangloss and the Baron still alive at the end??? Pangloss’s optimism was definitely not a functional one haha. And I didn’t like all the comments about Cunégonde being so ugly she wasn’t worth marrying anymore, like bruh. But that’s expected for the time it was written. I liked the pirates!!!
