After all the misery it seems after all that God did find a way to exchange all the bad with someone good. After almost being burned alive, Utopia came into their lives.
Is it Utopia? I mean the second they arrive they find gold, rubbies, diamonds, everything anyone could ever dream about right? After that you find out that you don't have to pay for one of the biggest meals ever. It was a place where everybody had the same opinion. This could only mean that war was barely a subject being touched. It's a place where Candide could stay and be the richest man in the world. Of course it's Utopia. Everything just seems so perfect right? When I read this chapter, it definitely seemed like it. Life had finally brought these two people something good in their lives. It brought them what they need. It brought them hope. It could have made them realize that not all is bad out in the world. It had to be Utopia.
Then I start think about everything. There might be a possibility where it isn't Utopia. It could be like any other place in the world. It could be just simple, "Eldorado." It probably has nothing special about it. It may just see thing differently. Or it could be the fact that so many bad things has happend to them, that any little ray of light can seem like the whole sun. You know what I mean? Maybe it's not Utopia. Candide must not see it like that. He left paradise. I agree with Sophie Echeverry when she states Candide act of stupidity when he leaves. This place was given to him to show him that not all is bad. That life can bring good things to people. It's almost as if he's leaving perfection to find what makes up his life, misery.
