Candide largely functions as a case study for the lack of value in the branch of knowledge known as philosophy. Within this satire, Voltaire provides the most ridiculous form of moral philosophy possible--that everything that takes place is for the best--and then presents a series of horrific events to reinforce the absurdity of this, and all philosophy. The characterizations of Candide and Pangloss typify this sentiment.

Eugene O'Neill & Desire Under the Elms Personal feelings about O'Neill from the Video Listening to the video replay (I recorded it digitally for playback) it is at first quite sad to learn that O'Neill's father and mother for the most part were such incomplete and really incompetent parents during his formative years. It would be hard to imagine one's mother was addicted to morphine rather than being the loving, nurturing leader and role model as she is supposed to be. On second thought, it is also amazing that O'Neill turned out to be such a literary giant, showing sheer genius in his plays. The video notes that O'Neill is credited with being among the first playwrights to introduce "realism into American drama." Realism indeed, his early life was about as real as it can get, as his mom struggled with addition and his father was a wealthy and well-known theater star who, according to O'Neil's biography apparently "reformed the rather loose life he had lived" (American Decades, 1998, p. 1) – but doesn't seem to have provided the leadership a young boy needs. Indeed, sending one's bright young son off to a boarding school at the age of 8, doesn't sound like hands-on parenting. It sounds more like getting the kid out from under foot.
