The reason that Volitare made this chapter was because it brought time to introduce the old womans story. It helped create a good transition between one idea to the next. I also think he made this chapter to provide more character traits shown in Cunegonde. Saying that she was sad that the Inquistitor and Jew both died and that she was in despair about what happened to her even though Candide went through some of the same horrible moments that she did.
Satiric Techniques=
1.) Deus ex machina (maybe) “He (Candide) displayed so much smartness, speed, initiative, morale, and efficiency that he was given command of the company” (pg. 35 top). When the Spanish general just happens to be watching him he becomes the captain. This is too much of a coincidence.
