In the conversation between Frieda and Wolf, the question arises about the nature of care and commitment. Wolf challenges Frieda by questioning why she continues to care for those who may not reciprocate her feelings. This highlights the complexities of relationships, especially when one party seems emotionally invested without receiving the same in return.

Frieda’s response shines a light on her perspective as a doctor, suggesting that her duty and compassion towards others are inherent to her profession. She emphasizes that her commitment to helping people does not hinge on whether they care about her in return, illustrating a selfless approach to her calling and emphasizing the importance of compassion regardless of acknowledgment.
