Did Alice and Cora have a close, sisterly relationship? |

Absolutely, her character is never present to experience all these important events that can lead to a person making their own conclusions in life about people, things, and circomestances. She is portayed by the director as not experiencing life in a sense; she is fully sheltered from it. The outcome is a very naive and oblivious young woman who does not know what is happening around her and cannot react to much.
I cannot really say that she was conditioned not to feel, but at least that she was deprived in a way of the experience of any such powerful and negative emotions.
How can anyone mature and develop as a person without this aspect of life?

lol...
she was just pampered and petted, her father's little girl who always had all the luxuries she required. also, she was always absent at all the enlightening moments that bring out the other, darker nature of life, which makes her a little naive. (she misses natty's rant about the camerons, as well as duncan's outright lying about what happened at the camerons' farm to colonel munro.) she isnt even told that her father died. her sheltered life prolly lead to her "not rightedness". |

Cora was Alice's caretaker.
Alice wasn't "quite right". |

I would have to agree that it was somewhat of a mother/daughter relationship. Perhaps the big difference in age had something to do with this, apart from the fact that Cora was a more stronger figure than Alice in many ways. |
