ndides love to sex.The Bulgar Captain, Don Issachar and the Grand Inquisitor took notice of the fair Miss Cunegonde. Cunegonde found the Captain attractive, I confess it, and wont deny that he was a handsome fellow and also says he found me attractive.(532) However the Captain has already raped Cunegonde when he took her from the castle of Thunder-Ten-Tronckh. The love was manifested after the sex had already taken place! Does this prove anything?The Postulate of Equality for a Symmetric Property of Equality is a mathematical rule that states, if a is equal to b, then b is equal to a(). Love would be a and b is sex. The example of Candide and Cunegondes relationship represents the a is equal to b. Candide showed the love and Cunegonde was turning his love for her into sex. Later with the rape of Cunegonde, by the Bulgar Captain, and turning their relationship into love after the act of sex was executed, shows b is equal to a. There is a reverse of process here that drives this point home. This builds the idea of an equality of sex and love in this story.Later in the story Candide demonstrates his b is equal to a part of the postulate. Candide felt some remorse at having been unfaithful to Miss Cunegonde,(565) which was after spending the night with marquise in the city of Paris. If sex wasnt the same as love, I believe Candide would have not felt any remorse for his actions with the marquise. Candide isnt bright. The fact that Candide is oblivious to many things could easily separate love and sex into two different entities. Candide being remorseful, Voltaire shows again that he thinks they are the one in the same. Another equality comparison can be drawn from the two girls and two monkeys. Candide and Cacambo heard a few weak cries which seemed to be voiced by women. They could not tell whether the cries expressed grief or joy.(546) Being dim witted as our hero is, he assumes the worst. What this sounds like i...
