Why was Kantorka made a brunette in the movie? Black is the color of evil in fairy tales. In the book, she's golden-haired and fair-skinned (which is also symbolic), and she wears a headscarf!
She's a modest village beauty, not this sexy (I will NEVER forget the way the Master looked at her figure. Bravo, Christian Redl!), emancipated, and promiscuous (she sought out Krabat's company, lol) woman. And her loose hair was nonsense for that time; she had braids...
