Line 270:
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Anne and Diana. Not quite as sentimental as the traditional model, though.
* [[Schoolmarm]]: And schoolmasters. There are so many in the series, as all of the schools on the Island minus colleges are one-room schoolhouses. Anne has a few, then eventually becomes one, as do many of her classmates. Gilbert becomes a schoolmaster, and it becomes a plot point that he gives up his Avonlea school post so Anne can remain closer to Green Gables and assist an ailing Marilla.
* [[Secret Identity]]: There's a bit of this in ''The Road to Yesterday''/''The Blythes Are Quoted''. George Fraser assumes a made-up identity Don Glynne when courting Christine in "The Pot and the Kettle
* [[Scenery Porn]]: One of the reasons for reading the books. Montgomery limns the beauty of the Island so gorgeously it makes you want to go there for that sake alone to see the [[Scenery Porn]].
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: By ''Anne of the Island'', the Anne/Gilbert [[UST]] has become so prominent that everyone close to Anne ships her with Gilbert. Mrs. Lynde and Marilla are overt supporters of the two, and then Davey innocuously asks if Gilbert will marry Anne soon, which is ''then'' followed by Mrs. Irving nee Lavender scolding Anne about her stubbornness of her denials of not loving Gilbert. Philippa Blake is aghast when Anne refuses him, and if you hold to the [[Fanon]] view that Diana has feelings for Gilbert but selflessly hid them because she knew her "bosom friend" was in love with Gilbert, that counts too.
