the character sketch of Mrs. Allan from the story ‘Anne bakes the cake’
Answers
Anne also admires Mrs. Allan’s joy, which makes her realize that being a Christian doesn’t have to be a solemn thing all the time. Mrs. Allan often hosts Anne and other Sunday school girls for tea and confidential chats. Her sense of humor and sympathy save the day when Anne serves a cake flavored with liniment oil at the Allans’ tea. Anne wants to be just like Mrs. Allan when she grows up, though she fears she will never be so “naturally good.”
Anne is an orphan who gets adopted by Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert. They are brother and sister, unmarried and wanted to adopt a boy. This mistake happens yet, they keep Anne.
Anne is a bright child and active too. Anne’s sunny nature and quirky imagination wins everyone’s heart in the community. She does some prank or the other which becomes a tragic comedy for her.
She accidentally dyes her hair with green colour and bakes a cake for Mrs. Allan, the reverend’s wife with liniment (medicine) instead of vanilla. Luckily, Mrs. Allan finds the whole episode funny and invites her for tea.
The author of the book states that Anne is the extension of modern woman who is individualistic, resourceful and great humanitarian at heart.
Anne, after the death of Mathew, decides to take care of Marilla by taking up teaching position in Avonlea. This shows her kindness.
