Do you believe Sofie would have been better off if she’d never met Bertie? Why or why not?
Its hard to know for sure because we dont know what kind of life she might have fallen in to without Bertie. They clearly loved each other and protected each other. Overall I think it was positive for her.
Given the times, it’s impossible to say. But what’s important is that she wanted to be with him
I don’t think so. She would likely have been targeted as a Communist, since her activities were well known. Her parents died in a bombing, too, so it’s possible she would have been killed along with them. Teaming up with Bertie allowed cover for them both, and provided a certain level of physical safety.
I think Sofie and Bertie had a true love for each other. I felt that we didn’t get to understand Sofie as well. I know she was heartbroken that her parents died believing that their daughter had committed suicide.
