Klava, Doctor Condor's blind wife, serves as a supporting role to that of Edith. Both women are disabled and both women have some of the same characteristics, such as a propensity for drama and overreaction. However, unlike Edith's outbursts, which are generally self serving, Klava's outbursts are often in protection of her husband. It is clear she adores her husband and that he, in turn, adores her as well. The relationship between Condor and his wife serves as an example of how pity, when in the right person, can positively impact the lives of several individuals. Unfortunately, Hofmiller does not learn from these characters until it is too late.
