Discussion Questions
Narration Prompt
Before discussing, summarize the chapter's movement in your own words: Matthew's dread-filled drive, the mix-up at Bright River, his decision, and the long conversation that transforms his view of the child.
Discussion Questions
- Montgomery lets Anne do most of the talking while Matthew says very little. What does that narrative choice let us understand about Anne that a more detached description would not, and what might it keep us from seeing as clearly? Use details from the chapter.
- Matthew defers the painful truth, framing the coming disappointment as 'murdering something.' Construct the strongest objection to reading his silence as simple kindness, then weigh whether the chapter ultimately vindicates or implicates him, and why. Use details from the chapter.
