The Inability to Make Meaningful Human Connections

I chose a picture of the door because Beatrice shuts out the outside world on a lot of things. She also does this literally by covering the windows of the house with newspaper so no one can see in. She shuts out the world through fear of being made fun of again. She even tries to keep her daughters from having any contact with the outside by keeping them home from school. She doesn't like them to go places. Nanny is also unable to have good human connections because she can't hear or see very well anymore, so she just walks around or sits all of the time and she never talks.
