The Event
The fifth Conversations About L.M. Montgomery event consists of an open discussion character pairs in L.M. Montgomery’s work. For this event, the organizers invited readers of L.M. Montgomery’s fiction to consider their favourite character pairs in her work: a romantic couple, a pair of friends, an adult and a young person, a pair of siblings, or two people in conflict. What is it about these relationships that are mutually supportive and enriching—or not? What is the secret to their bond, whether or not they are kindred spirits? And what motivates some characters to sacrifice personal relationships for the sake of something else, like higher education or an artistic practice? Participants were invited to share their ideas, read a key quotation, and reflect on the choices Montgomery made—and didn’t make—as she wrote her books.
