In this still Carol is drinking milk, her go to beverage. What is notable about this scene is that she is looking directly at the camera which is something not done in film usually. However, this connection she has with the viewer somehow shows that the milk and her strange illness correlate, and that by making eye contact with the camera she is looking for help.

Another strange interaction Carol has is with the car. Whilst driving she encounters a truck that emits smoke which she proceeds to choke on. The scene is shot in a way where both the score and the visual represent some sort of negative connotation. Carol swerves the car back and forth in an uncontrollable manner, signally that something uncontrollable may be going on inside her.

Carol also has issues with her couch. When it is first delivered to her home the couch is black, the wrong color she ordered. She says it does not match anything in her house despite the fact that the company said she originally ordered black. In the time she has the black couch, however, Carol takes comfort in sitting on the couch many times. This may signal that although Carol does not want to believe it, she is depressed. Depression doesn’t happen in her “perfect” world, therefore Carol orders a more lively teal-colored couch to replace the black one.
