[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My read is that there are many, many versions of this for the kids.  This is a version for grown-ups.  The 1980's version is for people who identify with Diana--the plucky orphan is a breath of fresh air!  This one is for people who identify with Marilla.[/quote]

You can go with this, sure. And then you can see how many disappointed moms there are who wanted to share this story with their kids 8+. That age, or younger, would have been the expected age. When it was announced, that's what many of my friends thought.[/quote]

I completely agree with you.  They paid zero regard to the story.

--Marilla wasn't some lonely suburban housewife looking for friends through a book club.

--Anne didn't talk about the noises the Hammonds made during sex.

--And for pity sake, she didn't hit Gilbert with the slate b/c she was afraid the other girls wouldn't like her.  She wasn't a slave to peer pressure.  The writers shouldn't change one of the most iconic actions in the book.  It's why Anne refused to become with Gilbert for YEARS.  She knew she was being stubborn and she finally came around to be his friend.  It's like having Romeo and Juliette live at the end.

She hated her hair and it was her achilles heel--her "lifelong sorrow."  Why she mouthed off to Rachel Lynde and why she hit Gilbert with the slate.
