When Christopher responded to her attribute to Candide and him he grew red in the face. Maybe she shouldn't have brought up Candide, he was a tad naive at the start of the text. Clarifying herself she said, "I mean his good trades. Loyal, noble, optimistic, loving, helpful, and the good things about him. I know some people read him as naive, but I think that he grows from his experience looking for Cunegonde, don't you?" Christopher laughed. "Welcome to my world, that's about all I read, the classics that is. Nothing from this century has ever found it's way into my library. I suppose you may have some struggles with understanding Muggle terms, but I feel the same way with things from the Wizarding World as well."
Christopher nodded. "Well thank you for clarifying, I was a bit worried you were caling me naiive or something." He chuckled. "I completely agree with you about growing on his journey to find Cunegonde. But as for her- auck! I just can't stand the woman! She only has looks. I mean, she's not smart, she'd betray Candide to benefit herself in a heartbeat, I mean, what does he see in her?!" Christopher didn't like Cunegonde. |
