The Classics discussion

Hi(:
So, I read Candide for my English 10 class, and now I have to write a thematic analysis on it. I'm not really sure what the theme of the novel is, other than something like "bad things happen to good people." To anyone who has read it, am I on the right track?
Thanks(:
Erik

I haven't read it, but I did google the spark notes... that's almost the same right? JK
