Barta plays a key role in the plot by choosing Benjamin as her lost son Lukas yet secretly knowing that he is not really Lukas. The reason she keeps this information to herself is subject to interpretation, but the fear of her husband's wrath may play into her reluctance to admit that she was wrong about Lukas. Though she is largely responsible for sustaining the erroneous situation, by telling the truth she also becomes the one who liberates Benjamin to go his own way.
