Change

From the moment Candide is thrown out into the streets for falling in love with Lady Cunegonde change takes place. Not only in his new life, but in his past life. We learn this from his teacher, Pagloss, who we now come to see again, all frail, sick, tired, and in such a mess that we wonder why he was kicked out aswell. In Candides past life he was living in a rich neighborhood. Now he is poor, and does not have enough money to pay for bread. Lady Cunegonde is dead, and things have gone into ruins. Change also shows us how we may react diffrently depending on what our position is.

Time does not move slowly, and neither does change. It can be as slow as the grass grows, or striking fast like lightening.
