Examining a literary analysis of the Eldorado episode in Candide, we see that Eldorado represents Voltaire's ideal vision of society, which in reality does not even exist. Eldorado raises many questions and debates. Donna Isaacs asks: “Does it represent the author's ideal, his vision of the perfect society, or does it represent a false paradise, to be rejected by the astute reader as is the protagonist? If El Dorado is the perfect society as far as Voltaire is concerned, it is depicted as one that all or part of humanity can eventually achieve or at least approach to some extent, or it is depicted as an impossible dream, incapable of realization by the man, incompatible with his nature?" (Dalnekoff). In simpler terms, the author asks whether Eldorado represents Voltaire's vision of the way he sees the world or is it just an imaginary land. However, Voltaire did not invent the perfect land of Eldorado, rather he learned about a country like Eldorado in his readings and from his sources. It is said that Eldorado is a place full of wealth and therefore earned the name of the golden one 'Eldorado is an impossible dream (Dalnekoff). Eldorado is an imaginary place where everything seems to be perfect. Eldorado is a life of live and let live, which means that most things are meaningless and the inhabitants of the village have nothing to work or live for. Therefore, Eldorado can be said to be a utopian society, which is a perfect imaginary world. It is closed off and cut off from other societies and is seen as an unrealistic place for others to reside. For Voltaire, El Dorado is the best possible world for a society. It is the land of gold. The fact that El Dorado is filled with all the riches anyone could dream of is a... means of paper... that life is not what he thought it would be. Learn that money, status, or materialistic things cannot make people truly happy. He learns that working, raising money and growing his own garden could give him all the happiness he desires. He even says that we must cultivate our own garden. I think this statement means that we should not be so caught up in the riches of the world but work to be happy with what we have and what we can control. He and his friends are satisfied working hard in the garden. Candido learns that work is what makes people happy, especially when we all work together. Also, looking for your lost love is better than being with someone else filled with all the riches. The characters in Candide end their adventures in a garden, they don't start them and they have to work day after day to get something from their garden.
