I don't think Candide really deserved any of his punishments. Candide is not just a naive person, but he is also kind of stupid for not realizing that Pangloss's logic is completely wrong. Even Cunégonde was able to realize that Pangloss's philosophy was wrong, yet Candide continued to just believe it, regardless of what life literally put in front of him.
Any ways, I can't really blame Candide for doing most of the wrong things that he did. In the beginning, on of his punishments was being forced into the Bulgar army. But he had he done nothing wrong. He only agreed with the two men (unknowingly) that he liked the Bulgar King, and this was because they provided him with food. Most of the punishments Candide received were from actions he committed without knowing that they were wrong or immoral. For example when he was on the boat during the storm, he didn't rescue the Anabaptist (even though he had every intention to do so) because Pangloss convinced him that the Anabaptists was supposed to drown.
The only punishment that I see fit for him, is when he lost most of his treasures and his sheep from El Dorado to the merchant. He deserved that punishment because he took advantage of the King's generosity by taking a vast amount of valuables. In this situation, he let greed get the best of him. However, all in all, I think Candide is a genuinely good person. His stupidity and Pangloss's influences are what blocks him from truly understand which actions are right and wrong, and I don't believe he will deserve any punishments until he realizes what he's being punished for.
