Purpose

Influence of Father.

  The story illustrates how an extremely prominent person can still "exist" even after he has left, and how they still can influence the people they control even when they are not present.

Personality, Individuality

  There is a sharp contrast between the personality of the conforming daughters and the individuality of Cyril.

Repression

  Sisters lack human contact, thus they have no idea how to interact with people.  This, coupled with their domineering father who makes all their decisions for them, has made them unable to cope with people.
