The more I get into the book, the more I understand it and every time I am able to get all the satire that is involved in the book. Of course as I am able to understand it even more, I laugh at it and enjoy it. First Voltaire makes fun by introducing the Old Lady, “I am the daughter of Pope Urban X”. (Page 49) We all know that all of the priests and everyone involved with the Catholic Church can’t have kids or marry any one. In fact many priests leave this life because they fall in love and the church doesn’t let them so by saying she was the daughter of the Pope, it is contradicting and mocking this.

The next part in which I laughed out loud, was when they said the name of the governor, Governor, Don Fernando d‘Íbaraa y Figueora y Mascarenes y Lampourdos y Souza a noblemen with degree of pride and appropriate to one who bore so many names.” (Page 58) I laughed at the hyperbole with the amount of names. It is true that the Spanish people use their first and second last names and they remember like 10 more. For example I use only my first last name but know about 10 of them. Also how the presidents and the people with money are always referred to with many last names, to give them importance so it was funny to see how Voltaire said this.
