Anne of Green Gables: Difference between revisions

[[File:anne_of_green_gables.jpg|frame]]

 

 

Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert had made the entirely sensible and practical decision to request a ''boy'' from the local orphanage to help the aging Matthew around their farm, Green Gables. Instead, they found themselves confronting a very redheaded little ''girl'', fantasizing about having 'raven black' hair 'rippling back from an alabaster brow' and being dressed in blue satin with puffed sleeves. Oh, and would they mind calling her 'Cordelia'?

** As preteens, Anne and her friends form a story-writing club. Anne comments that one girl "puts too much love-making in her stories" and that "too much is worse than too little".

** On meeting Anne, Diana pronounces her a "queer girl" (which doesn't discourage gay fans who see their relationship as laden with homoerotic subtext).

* [[She's All Grown Up|He Is All Grown Up]]: Anne realizes this about Gilbert in the concluding chapters of ''Anne of Avonlea'', and it causes her to ponder some things....

* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]: Anne, obviously.

* [[Youthful Freckles]]: Anne.
