    Werner faces a difficult moral choice in deciding whether to publicly or privately help Frederick. A moral conundrum is a dilemma where any choice has ethical implications. Werner chooses to help Frederick privately, though it does not help him, as publicly helping could endanger Werner while privately assisting maintains outward appearances. The letters from Marie-Laure's father emphasize his love for her despite his imprisonment, showing how love can motivate self-sacrifice even in difficult times. Society should protect the weakest members as with support they can become strong contributors to society in the future.
