- "You mean, hateful boy! How dare you!"
- The themes of love and family are woven throughout. As an orphan, Anne has never known a loving and stable home. While elderly brother and sister Matthew and Marilla are not the typical parents, they prove that families can come in many different shapes and sizes. Through them, Anne receives the love and support she's been longing for.
- Anne's window faces a beautiful blossoming cherry tree and when she arrives she marvels at its splendor naming it "The Snow Queen". The window serves as a "window" into Anne's vivid imagination. It is also a symbol of her connection and friendship with Diana, as she and Diana use candles in it to communicate from afar.
- Anne does not consider red hair to be an asset and is very sensitive about it. As wrong as she may be (red hair is beautiful!), she is preoccupied with it for much of the beginning. She even inadvertently dyes it green. Gilbert Blythe teases her with the nickname Carrots, to which she takes great offense. This is the beginning of their rivalry.
