The Kommandant has a role to fulfill, also Sophie. But each dislikes their present “jobs”. Chipping away at the facade is a laborious process, generally painful and in Kurt and Sophie’s situation dangerous. The tools used for this procedure are amazing. Who would have thought that anger and then compassion from Sophie and a certain standard of ethical morality from Kurt, would lead to overcoming evil? Kurt and Sophie would have never been able to build a solid foundation in their relationships unless the previous ruins were destroyed, obliterated.
