** Bertram's grandmother had spent the entire first chapter extremely strict. Her house is full of rules, everything is run under her control and raised Bertram in such a way that made him believe that only the Christian religion could find a solution to his problems. So, it was really satisfying when Bertram tells her off when she is about to scold him for entering his grandpa's library (a forbidden place).
** Ludwig Wittgenstein isn't the greatest teacher to have around. He abused his students physically and verbally. Eventually, the villagers discovered this and kicked him out.

While Bertram is always on the focus, the authors interrupt plenty of times the story to analyse his behaviour or to explain some element that the audience may not understand. At the middle of the graphic novel, the narration swifts from Bertram and follows Christos and Ann trying to find the rehearsal place. After they are done, the audience is back to Bertram and his quest for truth.
