Question about Candide
When Candide speaks to the Commandant in Paraguay, he refers to Westphalia as ‘filthy’ (dirty in other translations). I really don’t understand why.
It‘s a very minor detail so I haven’t found much about it, yet it makes little sense to me. Candide still follows Pangloss’s philosophy, so would surely still consider Westphalia divine.
I’m just a bit confused and would like to see if anyone had thoughts on it
