Is It The Perfect World?

Is there really a possible way for there to be a utopia? I think that the way the human species has evolved it is impossible to have a society in which everything is perfect and everyone is happy, most importantly. In a way, Westphalia is some kind of utopia. Candide says that, “If this is the best of all possible worlds, he said to himself, what can the rest be like?” (Page 37) After Candide witnessed some things like the hanging of Pangloss and the earthquake he noticed something. He noticed that there is no way of a perfect world.

As I read this about Candide saying that it was the best of all possible worlds I remembered all of the utopia novels we read before. In special, I remembered 1984, where Winston started to notice how his perfect world wasn’t so perfect. It was actually terrible, everything had the same but no one was truly happy. It’s like when you are little and everything seems right and perfect and everyday you start to notice terrible things.
