Type: Romantic Film: The Sound of Music Featured Characters: Captain von Trapp and Maria Fraulein
Writer’s Note: Please be advised that this deep dive is strictly about the characters in the film and has nothing to do with the historical figures.
The Sound of Music is a perfect movie. It might even be the blueprint for why so many of us are obsessed and perpetually in love with historical romance novels. It’s why the grumpy and sunshine trope hits so hard, and pairing it with the single dad has the power to undo us. The film’s version of Captain von Trapp and Maria is an archetype of what it means to find light, love, and everything beautiful in someone else. They’re an example of what it means to bring out the best in a partner.
There’s a reason the story is so revered. There’s a reason historical romance fans are still especially drawn to it. In the beats we get with the two, we have everything we need to know that a true happily ever after is possible for good people who deserve it.
