Who is the protagonist in the story? What are the conflicts? Are they physical, intellectual, moral, or emotional? Is the main conflict between sharply differentiated good and evil, or is it more subtle and complex?
The book is told through the eyes of a little red haired orphaned named Anne. Throughout her stay at Green Gables, she gets into several incidents due to her personal qualities. The "scrapes"as they referred to in the book, were physical, when she fell from the ridge pole and broke her leg. Intellectual, her decision to stay home from school because of Mr Phillip’s unfair teaching methods and prejudice. Moral, when she died her hair green because she was obsessed with vanity, and emotional, her stubborn hatred for Gilbert Blythe for calling her "carrots" the first time they met. Since she has several conflicts throughout her stay at Green Gables, the main conflict would be justified as complex. Anne has the ablitily to never make the same mistake twice" so she is able to learn from her faults, allowing her to grow into a mature young woman.
