Question

2. Why was Anne unhappy about her green hair?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because her newly transformed 'green hair' was 10 times worse than the red hair she had before. Ultimately she had to cut her hair very short.

Explanation:

• The question has been extracted from Chapter XXVII named Vanity and Vexation of Spirit of the novel "Anne of Green Gables".

• Anne Shirley is the protagonist of the novel Anne of Green Gables, who didn't like her red hair which was believed to be a sign of bad luck.

• After a failed attempt to dye her hair beautiful raven black using a blue laundry stripper and an old hairbrush, her hair turned into a shade of horrible and strange 'earthy green'.

• She was deeply sad and was repenting for the same. Anne's unhappiness continued for a week. During that time she went nowhere and shampooed her hair by scrubbing with water and soap vigorously every day.

• It was Diana alone of outsiders who knew the fatal secret, but she promised solemnly never to tell, and it may be stated here and now that she kept her word.

• Because of that, Anne was in regret, pain and tears. And she realised the bitter truth of the fast dye that she agreed with Marilla's decision and she had to cut her hair very short, ending up with a pixie cut.

• This was the reason behind Anne Shirley of Green Gables's unhappiness.
