The answer which best explains Dashiel's behavior is that <span>Dashiel's actions were driven by curiosity.
His mother told him not to touch the candle, but as he still doesn't understand why that is dangerous, he also couldn't understand why she forbade him from touching it. Thus, he was curious to see what would happen, which is why he wanted to touch it even if he didn't before.
