ENGB35H3 Lecture Notes - Little Women, Knitting
Document Summary
Somewhat halfway of little women and treasure island. Anne wants to find a home and stay there. Ti is about jim having to leave home to become a man. Everyone more or less same class in this society. Not the same sense of the marchs against the world, anne vs. avonlea society. Marilla vs. mrs. march: marilla completely not motherly, doesn"t really know what to do with a child, anne makes her the mother she never was. Given the way anne clashes with rachel lind, cueing us to be on anne"s side: poking a little fun at rachel lind, and everybody. Anne is quite happy to be domesticated, but vice versa, it"s not sort of enforced the way it is in. The plot isn"t one of disciplining, but the opposite, since conforming to rachel lind. Whereas jo march has to go through this journey to domesticity, anne doesn"t.
