Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-20th century. Set at the end of the 19th century, the novel recounts the adventures of Anne an orphaned 11-year-old girl, who is mistakenly sent to two middle-aged brothers, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who originally intended to a boy to help them on his farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, Canada. The novel explains how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts, at school, and inside the city. Since its publication, Anne of Green Gables has been translated into at least 36 languages and has sold more than 50 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books worldwide. [4] The first in an anthology series, Montgomery wrote numerous sequels, and since his death, another sequel has been published, as well as an authorized prequel. The original book is taught to students around the world. [5] The book has been adapted as films, films made for television, and animated and live action TV series. Musicals and plays have also been created, with annual productions in Europe and Japan. [7] Background The portrait of Evelyn Nesbit by Rudolf Eickemeyer Jr. that inspired Montgomery. [9] Writing the novel, Montgomery was inspired by the notes she had made as a child about two brothers who were mistakenly sent to an orphaned girl instead of the boy they had asked for, but decided to keep it. He relied on his own childhood experiences on the rural island Prince Edward, Canada. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, who had cut from New York's Metropolitan Magazine and posed on the wall of her bedroom, as a model for Anne Shirley's face and a reminder of her youthful idealism and spirituality. [9] Montgomery was inspired by the orphaned stories of the Ann formula (called such because they followed such a predictable formula) that were popular at the time and distinguished his character by writing his name with an extra e. [11] He based other characters, such as Gilbert Blythe, in part on people he knew. She said she wrote the novel in the twilight the next day, while sitting in her window overlooking the Cavendish fields. [12] The plot summary Anne attacks Gilbert Anne Shirley, a young orphan from the fictional community of Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia (based on the real community of Nova London, Prince Edward Island),[13][14] is sent to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, brothers in their fifties and sixties, after a past childhood in the houses and orphanages of strangers. Marilla and Matthew had originally decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew run his farm in Green Gables, which is located in the fictional town of Avonlea (based in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island). Through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne. Anne is fanciful, imaginative, eager to please and dramatic. However, she is defensive about her appearance, despising her red hair, freckles and pale, thin frame, but lioing her nose. She is a talker, when it comes to describing your fantasies and dreams. Stern Marilla says Anne must return to the orphanage, but after much observation and Along with Matthew's friendly and quiet encouragement, Marilla decides to let her stay. Anne takes a lot of joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the nearby farming village. His imagination and spoken soon illuminated Green Gables. The book recounts Anne's struggles and joys when settled in Green Gables (the first real house she has ever known): the country school where she quickly excels in her studies; her friendship with Diana Barry, the girl who lives next door (her best or friend's body as Anne calls her fondly); his nascent literary ambitions; and her rivalry with her classmate Gilbert Blythe, who mocks her over her red hair. For this reason, he earns his instant hatred, although he apologizes several times. Although, as time goes by, Anne realizes that she no longer hates Gilbert, but her pride and stubbornness keep her from talking to him. The book also follows Anne's adventures in Avonlea. Episodes include play-time with her friends Diana, calm, placid Jane Andrews, and the beautiful and crazy Ruby Gillis. She has run-ins with nasty sisters Pye, Gertie and Josie, and frequent domestic scratches such as dyeing her hair green while pretending to dye it black, and accidentally getting diana drunk giving her what she thinks is raspberry cordial, but which turns out to be currant wine. At sixteen, Anne goes to the Queen's Academy to obtain a teaching license, along with Gilbert, Ruby, Josie, Jane, and several other students, excluding Diana, much to Anne's consternation. He obtains his license in one year instead of the usual two and wins the Avery Scholarship awarded to the best student in English. This scholarship would allow him to pursue a bachelor's degree in Arts (B.A.) at the fictional Redmond College (based on the real University of Dalhousie) on the mainland in Nova Scotia. Near the end of the book, however, tragedy strikes when Matthew dies of a heart attack after knowing that all his money and Marilla have been lost in a bank failure. Out of devotion to Marilla and Green Gables, Anne gives up the scholarship to stay at home and help Marilla, whose vision is failing. She plans to teach at Carmody School, the nearest school available, and return to Green Gables on weekends. In an act of friendship, Gilbert Blythe renounced his teaching position at Avonlea School to work at White Sands School, knowing that Anne wants to be close to Marilla after Matthew's death. After this kind of act, Anne and Gilbert's friendship is cemented, and Anne waits for what life will bring next.
