"The problem of Hawking family resemblance."

We know from "Vivat Regina" that Mrs. Hawking can't get past Nathaniel's resemblance to his late uncle. But how to make the audience see what she sees?

Drama is a visual medium; what the audience sees can do as much to tell the story as the words the characters speak. And it just so happens that Nathaniel’s appearance, if not those imagined details specifically, has had an explicit effect on the plot. In Vivat Regina, Mrs. Hawking tells him that it’s hard for her to learn to let down her guard with someone who looks so much like the Colonel, the man from whom she spent years hiding everything that was important to her.

Mostly the discomfort of that would have to be informed. This kind of bothered me, as it’s always better to make the audience feel the emotions rather then just tell them about them.
