What do you think of Hellen Keller?
First of all, I do not understand how one could be deaf-blind. There should always be some way in which a person could receive information from the outside world. For example, language is always available as a means to convey information and knowledge to another. The fact that she was both deaf and blind raises some interesting questions about what it would mean for someone to know her personally.
One would be able to know only her physical being. Her mind would be inaccessible, because there is no way for someone blind and deaf to communicate with other humans
It is clear that a person like this has been limited in their interactions with others. They have not had the same experiences of a typical human.
I think, that despite not being able to see or hear anything, she is still capable of other forms of pleasure and pain. For example, people who have known her write about how she would enjoy the sight of nature.
Also, people have described her as enjoying the feeling of rain on her face.
It seems like she is capable of understanding the world in some way. The fact that she has been able to communicate with a lot of people indicates that there must be something about her behaviour, which makes it possible for her to express herself.
