This is interesting. Is isolation so important? The heroines of old could have escaped the castle if they had been desperate enough.
Perhaps the trick is to have a heroine doubt the danger. It might have been accidental. She could have tripped and wasn't pushed from the stairs. She may just have a tummy ache and it wasn't poison. It usually isn't until the end of the story that the danger becomes a real person.
