Marilla sees the potential in Anne, and her insight propels Anne to become the strong woman readers see in the latter novels.
Although Marilla may appear stern and unfeeling towards Anne, Anne knows that Marilla truly loves her and only wants the best for her. Anne has a unrealistically romantic outlook of life, and is particularly sensitive of her outward appearance, especially her red hair, which any ridicule of it ignites Anne’s temper getting her into troublesome situations. Marilla begins to see similar characteristics in Anne that remind her of herself, and realizes that she must guide Anne as she thrives in the way of life, and also make sure that Anne does not make the same mistakes that she had. Anne’s talkative and emotional personality immediately wins over shy and reticent Matthew, but it takes a little longer for Marilla to warm up to her. Matthew and Marilla, especially Marilla, had anticipated for a young boy to be sent to them, but instead they are surprised and are given Anne. Anne’s world is forever changed when she is adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a brother and sister who in their old age are looking for someone to assist them.
The series centers around the main character, Anne Shirley, a strong-willed, and imaginative orphan girl. Montgomery (also known as Lucy Maud Montgomery). Anne of Green Gables is the first and most popular novel in a nine book series written by Canadian author L.M.
