Why is it that Werner dies without any sort of real closure? Why is it that they only spend one day together? Why is he so driven to leave the safety of the med. tent? Why does he leave the iron key in the box? Why did she give it to him in the first place? Where is the Sea of Flames? Why was Jutta raped? HOW DOES RAPE HELP THE STORY DEVELOP AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT IN GENERAL? Why does anyone believe in the curse in general? Why is immortality so important to everyone? He could leave a straight forward answer or conclusion to really anything.

In the novel the author leaves off all of the open ended questions for the reader to answer for themselves. As in the case of Werner walking onto the beach and stepping on a landmine there can be many different ways to view why he did that. Was it because he didn't want to live with the things he had done? Or had he just lost his mind? Was in an unconscious or conscious decision? Leaving the story open ended, with just one of the many unanswered questions, the train of thought can spread out with many more inquiries. This type of writhing can get the reader to engage more in the story, always thinking about "why did this happen" or "why did they do that". The story can spread out into many story leaving opining for future books or stories.
