Candide Continues Killing
Candide is just a little crazy. I think his emotions are getting the best of him. When he tries expressing them, he kills somebody. His most influential emotion would be how he feels about Cunegonde. He got jealous about how the guys were sharing Cunegonde, and he didn't want to hare her. So, he killed them. Its so hard for him to enjoy some of the greater things he is shown because he misses her so much. After asking Cunegonde's brother from their hand in marriage, her brother says no. Candide becomes enraged and acts accordingly. Candide kills his love's brother who she was unaware of his survival. He kills when there is someone in the way of his love, and that is very unstable. Falling in love can making someone unstable and confused, slightly crazy too. Therefore, there is a fine line between love and craziness for Candide.
