What do the nuns think about Maria in The Sound of Music?

At the beginning, the nuns think of Maria as a nuisance. They sing a song called "Maria" in which they complain about different things she does, including climbing a tree, ripping her dress, wearing curlers under her habit, singing when she shouldn't be, and being late to everything. They believe she is a nice girl, but that she isn't made out to be a nun. However, they do help her later on by housing her when she runs away, allowing her to get married at the abbey, and hiding her family from the Nazis.


What happens in the sound of music?

It is a love story about a young postulant from an abbey in Austria that is sent to be a governess for seven mischievous children belonging to a handsome, older man, Georg Von Trapp, during WWII. All seven children and their father end up falling in love with this young woman, Maria, even though Captain Von Trapp is engaged to be married to another woman. The plot becomes suspenseful when the Aunschluss begins in Austria and Captain Von Trapp refuses to submit to the Third Reich. In fear of punishment from the Nazis, the Von Trapp family, and Maria, must find a way to escape to Switzerland.

What is the name if the nun that killed someone and taught the other nuns how to sing?

I believe you are confusing reality with the dramatic play- later movie called Sister Act. a female gangster impersonates a nun- and well later gets caught up in the spiritual side. Nobody with a homicide conviction would even be considered as a candidate or postulant for the Religious vocation in real life. as for singing nuns- we have the movie The Singing Nun- no crime angles there, and both the play and movie The Sound of Music.


Were there black nuns in Austria in the thirties as was portrayed in the sound of music last night on NBC?

The portrayal of black nuns in "The Sound of Music" is not historically accurate, as the film is set in Austria during the late 1930s, a time and place where the population was predominantly white. While there were certainly people of African descent in Europe, including Austria, they were quite rare, and documented instances of black nuns during that period are limited. The film's representation reflects more modern interpretations and inclusivity rather than historical reality.
