The theme of this book is that no one should be a victim"in life we know that there are struggles and obstacles that SHOULD be overcomed and that not everything should be passively accepted"Voltaire's initiates the idea that people should work to make their happiness.

There were a lot of times that he wanted to give up"but the only thing that kept him alive was the hope that things will get better.
