The only way to break the Brothers' curse is for her to accept mortality in her heart - To finally stop railing against the Gods and accept the Doom of Men as the natural order of things. I'm wondering if part of that will involve her accepting her own culpability in the children's deaths. This is the interpretation I personally accept, and I feel that's why Ozpin was banking so hard on the simple soul idea. He thought maybe a simple soul's purity and strength of heart may be able to get through to Salem more than anyone else might, and perhaps the simple soul may truly impress upon Salem the value of life ended by death or something.
