Candide's Punishments: Do They Fit the Crime?

Candide faced extreme hardships throughout his journey, especially for someone so innocent, who had been sheltered for so long. He's conscripted into the Bulgarian Army and brutally beaten. He's caught in a shipwreck on his way to Portugal, and when he finally reaches the shore there's an earthquake, and soon after he's flogged for being a philosopher (while Pangloss is hanged). At this point, Candide hasn't done anything wrong. His only crime was being pure and naive, which maybe led him to not see the consequences of being with Cunegonde. Cunegonde is really what gets him into trouble throughout he whole story. She's the reason he was kicked out of the castle and the reason he killed three people. I don't think his punishments were justified, because he only meant the best in each situation. The first two people he killed actually had done some pretty bad things. The third, Cunegonde's brother, was someone who was entrenched in the old ways of European hierarchy, and who got his position because of his looks. That doesn't mean it was okay to kill him; but it symbolizes getting rid of the old oppressive system.
