In Voltaire's Candide, Martin is characterized as a philosopher with a flawed understanding of the world.
- Martin's unalloyed cynicism and pessimism distract from his higher intelligence over his peers (Pangloss and Candide).
- They do not enable him to understand that while human life seems to be unfair and inherently evil, the best approach is to accept and live with the evil until it is overcome.
- The correct focus and philosophy are required to understand evil in this world, to live with it while making all efforts to conquer evil.
Thus, Voltaire's Candide portrays Martin as disillusioned with life in this world because he does not recognize that any iota of good remains.
