Candide's Punishment....

          So let’s begin with stating what happened. Candide was thrown out of the castle for kissing Miss Cunegund. He received notable kicks and was driven out of the kingdom

         So as Candide was kicked out no one else was punished for what happened.  The most someone got punished for was Cunegund got a slap on the wrist but that’s all. Initially to begin with it was not Candide’s fault. So I don’t think his punishment was fair for his “crime”

          Cunegund was the one that started kissing Candide and all Candide do was follow. So if anyone has a fault in this in would be Cunegund. But Cunegund was influenced by what she observed earlier on that day. It was Doctor Pangloss from whom she was influenced by. Pangloss was “experimenting” with the castles maid. So his little “experimenting” got Cunegund curious and influenced her to do what she did. So if it’s anyone’s fault it would be all Pangloss fault.

          Pangloss to begin should be messing around with the maids. So he was the one going behind the kings back and messing around with his maids. Cunegund just so happened to see him and decided to participate in it herself. So candied had no fault.

          Maybe Candide had some fault in it. His mistake was kissing the kings daughter but that doesn’t justify his punishment. All young people are open to experimenting and that’s the reason why Cunegund kissed him. Candide’s punishment was cruel and unfair. He is a kid that gets kicked for simply kissing the king’s daughter. Kicking him out leaves out with nothing to take care of him. Nothing to eat and left for dead. So this punishment was not fair. But hey everything happens for the better right?
