Candide's Punishments: Do they fit the Crime?

To decide whether Candide's punishment fits the crime one must first analyze the crime and the punishment. What was the crime? Well, according to Baron Thunder-ten-tronckh, the crime was kissing his daughter, Lady Cunegonde. Candide was then punished by being literally kicked out of the Baron's castle. Obviously, the Baron did not like what was going on with Candide and his daughter, so what other choice did he have? If he did not agree with their love, but let Candide stay in the castle, nothing would have probably changed; and Lady Cunegonde and Candide would continue the love that was not favored by the Baron. The only punishment that would stop them from seeing each other would be to kick Candide out from the castle. This is in the viewpoint of the Baron.
