Though she may have had to, because Matthew's personality isn't one of leadership. He's more of a follower, and prefers it that way.<BR/><BR/>I've always liked Matthew more than Marilla, because we have some very similar personality traits except for in one major area I'm not as shy as he was.lovejaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353744660480566437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11680994.post-1121275624874376202005-07-13T12:27:00.000-05:002005-07-13T12:27:00.000-05:00Could it be that Matthew and Marilla were twins? ...Could it be that Matthew and Marilla were twins?

It mentions several times that Matthew was 60 when they got Anne, but I have yet to see how old Marilla was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436252931642915566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11680994.post-1121266854641041932005-07-13T10:00:00.000-05:002005-07-13T10:00:00.000-05:00I had always assumed that Matthew was older, but I...I had always assumed that Matthew was older, but I don't remember for sure.

At the beginning of AoGG Matthew was 60, so I find it reasonable to assume that Marilla was a bit younger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
