THEY ARE GAY

In All the Light that We Cannot See, there are such heavy undertones that suggest that Werner and Volkheimer are gay. And for each other no less! There are several scenes in the book where Volkheimer's actions suggest a fondness for Werner and this fondness seems to run deeper than favoritism. He shows tenderness for Werner and Werner reciprocates in his shy way. While some would argue that Werner had a thing for Marie, I would like to argue that it is simply platonic. It's like what would happen if you met an angel: you marvel at how pure they are but you don't feel romantically for them. Werner and Volkheimer have been through so much together and they're both impure and they've both helped to kill and they're just meant to be.
