For instance, when the Doctor comes into her house, she is afraid of him and goes in seclusion in the basement. This shows that she has never been exposed to today's society and it is hard for her to meet new people because she has always lived with her mother and sister. She is also scared when a helicopter comes nearby her house with a member of the media trying to film her. As I mentioned, when we first meet Nell we might think that she is simple-minded. However, later on in the movie, we start to understand the she always thinks of her days as a child. This may be perceived as strange by "civilized- people, but it does not take her much time to realise how our society works. She is able to make comments about the way we live: "You have big things. You know big things. But you don't look into each other's eyes. And you're hungry for quietness". This quotation shows that Nell is not simple-minded and that she is connected to reality. Some people may disagree by saying that she acts childishly, but she is able to judge what is right or wrong.
Moreover, Nell connects with reality by different means. One example is by recalling her days with her sister. The viewers often see them together swimming in the lake. This might not mean much for most "civilized- people, but for Nell it has a profound meaning because this picturing of Nell and her sister swimming in the lake is comparable to Wittgenstein's way of expressing how we connect our minds to reality. The way she represents .

her sister swimming in the lake is meaningful to her because it makes Nell happy and she forgets about her problems. This creates something definite in her mind.
As I already mentioned, Nell has her own form of language that is described by doctors as "idioglossia-, which is a pathological condition in which a person's speech is so severely distorted that it is unintelligible. However, this is not how I see this because as we have previously seen in Wittgenstein's tractatus, he says that as long as we are able to give meaning to a given action we can create a new language.
