Candide is a bastard who was brought up in the house of a Baron. He was lectured by the "best" philosopher of Westphalia along with the children of the Baron. One day Lady Cunegonde saw their teacher having sex with a maid. She didn't know what this "experiment" was so she wanted to try it out. The next day she tried it with Candide after dinner and her father saw them. He obviously kicked Candide out of the house. He found two men who made him become one of the Bulgar King's men. He went, and thanks to his naivety and lack of knowledge he got into trouble.
The beginning of Candide doesn't only introduce us to the main character, but to satire which is the writing style Voltaire uses. Satire is used to make fun of something. The author uses it in such a great manner that I am enjoying the novel.
