How can anybody be so dumb? Candide just met up with his beloved Cunegondes brother and what happens? He ends up killing him. Well that's a nice way to say, "Hello, great to see you." Off course the killing does not happen immediately, but Cunegonde does not even have a chance to know that her brother was still alive before he was officially killed. Candide killing Cunegondes brother seems to have even come to a surprise to him. They were going to go and both save Cunegonde. But instead Candide opened his big mouth and told Cunegondes bro that he was planning on getting married to her. I suppose that's what sparked up the small fight and than the death of Cunegondes brother. "O God! What have I done! I have killed my old master, my friend and my brother in law!"(Candide Voltaire pg67) yes you have Candide. Now what are you going to do? How are you going to tell Cunegonde? How can anybody be so dumb?
