Liesel's theft of the book sparks Ilsa's interest and allows her an opening into Liesel's life. Ilsa is lonely and mourns for her son, Liesel craves knowledge, and Ilsa'a library affords her the opportunity to read at will. Through this, the two form a lasting friendship, as Ilsa will later open her home to the young girl.
