This paper suggests Marilla’s motherhood and her relationship with Anne is not as controlling as the majority of people thought it to be. In many studies, Marilla was considered to be the demolisher of Anne’s wild characteristic and a definite cause of Anne’s conformity. Whether or not Anne truly was pruned down and conformed is controversial in the field of literature analysis, whereas Marilla was always seen as the antagonist of Anne’s romantic and wild nature. In this paper, Marilla is seen as a friend of Anne rather than a controlling mother who has a cold and brutal power over Anne’s transformative changes. The focus of this paper is the transformation of Marilla as well as her unique form of motherhood and her inner transformation.
Abstract
This paper suggests Marilla’s motherhood and her relationship with Anne is not as controlling as the majority of people thought it to be. In many studies, Marilla was considered to be the demolisher of Anne’s wild characteristic and a definite cause of Anne’s conformity. Whether or not Anne truly was pruned down and conformed is controversial in the field of literature analysis, whereas Marilla was always seen as the antagonist of Anne’s romantic and wild nature. In this paper, Marilla is seen as a friend of Anne rather than a controlling mother who has a cold and brutal power over Anne’s transformative changes. The focus of this paper is the transformation of Marilla as well as her unique form of motherhood and her inner transformation.
