Depraved Bisexual: Karin, who is married to a man. Petra might qualify too, as she has gone through two marriages to men (first as a widow, then more recently as a divorcee). What counts is that both are depraved and with gusto. It is a Fassbinder movie, after all. | |

Meal Ticket: Aside from whatever feelings she might have for Petra, it's clear that Karin is all too happy of living at Petra's expenses and using her to launch her modeling career. It's worth noting that she dumps Petra to reunite with he husband after she gets her photo published in a magazine, cementing her notoriety | |
