Mr. Anagnos
Mr. Anagnos was the director of the Perkins Institution in Boston. He was instrumental in sending Miss Sullivan to Helen’s house to teach her. He had quite a soft corner for Helen. However, differences grew in their relation 1892 with the Frost King episode. The controversy concerning 'The Frost King' was an agonizing experience in Helen's life. Helen was charged with plagiarism. It was said that Helen had copied the theme of her story from 'Frost Fairies', by Miss Margaret T. Cabby. Even Mr. Anagnos, the director of Perkins Institute doubted Helen. Mr. Anagnos's behaviour towards Helen was not justified. In spite of initial sympathy with her and believing her side of the situation, he changed his stance. The night before the celebration of Washington's birthday, one of the teachers of Perkins Institute talked to Helen regarding "The Frost King". Helen told her that Miss Sullivan had narrated her the story about Jack Frost and her wonderful works. Something she said made the teacher think she was confessing that she had copied her plot from Miss Canby's story of 'The Frost Fairies'. She conveyed her conclusions to Mr. Anagnos who thought he had been deceived by Helen. He also began suspecting that Helen and Miss Sullivan had stolen the story.
