@@lovelyandsmartcommentator5130 Maria was temperamental and not the ladylike and graceful Maria of 'Die Trapp Familie' or 'The Sound of Music'. She was controlling. She was a victim of her traumatic and abusive childhood, and acted out because that is how she dealt with stress. For her, once she had an outburst, her humor was restored and all was well. For the object of her rage, not so much. She didn't love Georg when she married him, she did love the children. When Georg proposed, she raced back to the abbey and told the prioress her dilemma. She truly wanted to be a sister, and supposed that the abbess would put an end to her romantic troubles. The abbess met with the other sisters and prayed and realized it was God's will that she marry Georg. It may be that they knew that Maria was called to be there for a time to be formed by the sisters, but this intervention was her true calling. Maria was not happy to marry the captain but grew to love him more than anyone in her life. She mourned his passing and deeply regretted her emotional outbursts with him.
From some source there is NO RECORD OF NAME MARIA AS A NUN IN THE CONVENT.SHE WAS STRICT WITH CHILDREN NOT LIKE JULIE ANDREW'S.
My Austrian son in law told me that Maria was abusive to the children and didn't love their father.
