Helen says that the incident of "The Frost King" as "the one cloud in my childhood's bright sky." Even as Helen recalls the story many years later, it "still chills my heart." This supports the claim that Helen loses her confidence to write.
In her autobiography, she writes that when she understood what she was accused of, "...I was astonished and grieved. No child ever drank deeper of the cup of bitterness than I did. I had disgraced myself; I had brought suspicion upon those I loved best." The episode made her doubt that what she put on paper was original, and hurt her efforts for years.
She became excessively scrupulous about everything she wrote. Miss Sullivan had to console her and allay her fears in every possible way in order to restore her confidence that Helen had lost. Helen resumed her writing after being urged by her teacher.
