Candide Comment
Candide has killed a thrid person so far, Cunegonde's brother, who was furious to hear that Candide was going to marry Cunegonde. Candide has traveled through many areas in Europe. He was also in Eldorado, where no one is perscuted for religious beliefs. Martin is definitely not optimistic as Pangloss was. He always points out the evil because he believes that evil dominates the world. Candide was tricked in a card game, in which he lost a lot of his money. He also gave diamonds to his lovely "Cunegonde," and to the two officers who arrseted him and Cacambo. With Cacambo, he has a loyal valet by his side as they are sent back to England from Paris.
