To Billygio 

I don't agree... I think his ideas are very unrealistic and fantastic and that cannot be pplied to the real world.

Cheers from Italy! :P

I do not believe in the ideas of Pangloss... because he is too unrealistic and he doesn't even think before he says things for example, at the beginning go the book when he was sick and was about to die he said that we live in the best of all possible worlds because we still have chocolate. In the real world, the one that we live today, this idea does not make sense.

I don't agree because he very unrealistic, but I like how Voltaire created this character because before people believed that everything was for the best, of course here is really exageragerated.

I believe that panglosse's ideas are not bad however i couldn't say they were good either. He seems to be a bit too optimistic at times when it is unnecessary. I think that he however adds to the satire of the book
