The Warden´s childhood

When Stanley and Zero are surrounded by the lizards, the Warden tells Mr. Sir about her childhood. She say that she was the one to dig holes when she was a child, even on Christmas. That might explain why she can be so hard to the boys and even the guards. There probably never was love and happiness in her childhood. And it can´t have been a happy childhood since there´s nothing around Camp Green Lake. She was in a prison without having commited any crimes at all. Her family obviously couldn´t think of anything besides the treasure any more. I wonder if she ever had friends. I don´t think so.
I chose this picture since this is how I imagine the warden as a girl. Always alone, nobody to play with and most likely, not even hope for a better life. In contrast to her Stanley and Hector never lost their hope, even when they were in the desert without any food or water.
