 * What is Candide's reaction to the situation and WHY is it significant?
 * Have you ever encountered a situation or idea that significantly changed your outlook on the world?
 * Explain the situation or idea and how your outlook changed.

The irony in this passage is when the slave's leg and hand is cut off. A slave is a money, by cutting his leg off, the slave can't work as efficient as he used to. This means the owner himself is throwing away the money.

Candide finds the black man to be very poor. Candide gives black man some money. Candide distrusts optimism. This is very significant because Voltaire is trying to criticize optimism.

I have once encountered a situation when it significantly changed my outlook on the world.

Answer: Europeans teach that blacks and whites are equal, but the white cut the black's leg off.
