* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Does Barbara have Asperger's syndrome? She certainly seems to display a lot of the traits: taking things literally, obsessive interests, SesquipedalianLoquaciousness, poor social skills, high intelligence. Then again maybe she's just a [[TheSociopath sociopath]].

** I think Barbara simply isn't willing to make herself vulnerable enough for a real relationship, preferring to maintain some level of control over the target of her affection. She also seems sensitive enough to be worried that the women she is attracted -- all of whom seem to be much younger than her -- may not be interested in her.


Added DiffLines:

** To be fair, it was probably clear from the diary entries she read that Barbara had been seeking to manipulate her with her knowledge of Sheba's affair since the very beginning, so that -- and betraying her trust -- is probably what she is blaming Barbara for.

* MagnificentBitch: Barbara could be considered [[Theatre/{{Othello}} Iago]] in a woman's body with her diary as Emilia. She's made even more magnificent by the fact that by the end of the movie she's evaded prison and found another prey!

** The book makes it clear that she's also just desperate for some form of company, with even light, accidental contact with strangers having powerful effects on her due to her loneliness. It's entirely possible that, lesbian or not, she's seeing an opportunity for companionship and jumping on it.
