A character is told his whole life that he is so sick he can never go outside. This turns out to be false.

It is never implied the protagonists’ parents die in a fire. A fire is caused in the room where Mary hides and it is learned her parents died as a result of the disaster but details are not shown as to how specifically.

One of the prominent "characters" is deceased (as well as several other characters dying early on), and there is a scene where a character has a dream about her that could be interpreted as her "ghost", but she doesn't explicitly appear in spirit-form

I don't know that I would call this electro-therapy: there is a device that is used on a disabled character to exercise his limbs so they don't atrophy. It is powered by being wound up.

The word cripple is used a few times throughout. A character who is perceived to be disabled gets mistreated and neglected throughout the beginning of the film.

Mary gets very angry after one of the servants says she thought she was a 'native' talking about India, and it's heavily implied that this is offensive or lesser to be a 'native'

There is a scene where a boy remarks to his (first) cousin that he would like to marry her and he kisses her, but this was not considered incest within the setting of the film (Early 20th c. England).
