Fave Shirbert Scenes: #7
I couldn’t not include this one! It’s iconic! The beginning of a love story for the ages!
Gilbert is intent on getting Anne to talk to him. He’s confused. She had started to talk to him before being interrupted. Why won’t she now?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I know canon Gilbert would tease the girls and pull pranks on them but I don’t think this Gilbert did that. Even before his dad got sick. So this could be out of character for him.

Anne ignores it and she’s mad. He’s just like all the other boys. She was fooled into thinking he was any different. Not only has he pushed away the only friends she had but now he won’t leave her alone. She thought it’d be different here.

Well if she refuses to acknowledge him, he’s just going to have to come to her then. Anne accomplished what the other girls had been trying to do for years. She got the attention of Gilbert Blythe. All in one day. Unfortunately, she doesn’t want it.

Tug shit, get hit! Seriously though, this seems so out of character for Gilbert. He’s just not used to being ignored like this. He’s the most popular boy in school. His ego is bruised, and as we now know Anne is one of the few who can do that.

He got walloped but he got what he wanted. She spoke to him. It’s a bittersweet moment. She’ll hold this over his head for a while. Once she realizes that they are kindred spirits, it will be too late.
