The Baron discovers Candide and Miss Cunégonde, the attractive daughter of the Baron, kissing behind a screen and banishes Candide from the castle. The castle’s tutor, Pangloss, teaches “metaphysico-theologo-cosmolo-nigology” . Pangloss believes that learning all three arts is the “best of all possible worlds.”
