Summary
Analysis
Claudia is interviewed next, and she confirms the details of Hertha’s story. And she, too, claims to have been surprised by how friendly—perhaps even “familiar”—Katharina acted around Götten.
Claudia’s testimony, like Hertha’s before hers, supports and challenges Katharina’s claims of innocence, depending on one’s preconceived notions of Katharina’s character.
