The film also depicts the pair as having a quasi-telepathic link, which is often associated with lovers. In his article “All in the Family,” James McLaughlin states that “Incest is a barely suppressed presence in the film…” At the beginning of the film they are both shown lying in bed in the exact same position, signifying their connection to one another. However, critics have observed subtle incestuous undertones between the two. The relationship between the heroine Charlie Newton and her sinister uncle Charlie is taken at face value by the other characters as nice and normal. Among Hitchcock’s dysfunctional families, the Newtons are probably the most outstanding. However, beneath the surface, the Newtons experience a number of problems which they try to hide with their facade.

Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt features the Newton family, who at first glance appears to be an ideal happy, average family.
