Question

Which is a key detail about a character in the story? "You'll have to stay here until we investigate this affair." "Anne Shirley, but, oh, please do call me Cordelia." "Is that your name?" "I don't know what on earth you mean."

Answer 1

Answer:

In the excerpts shown above we can see a character very insecure and dissatisfied with herself.

Explanation:

The excerpts shown above were taken from the book "Anne of Green Gables". The book tells the story of Anne Shirley, an orphan girl who was adopted by a couple of brothers.

The dialogue shown in the question takes place at the moment when Anne is adopted by mistake, because the brothers wanted to adopt a boy to help them with the farm work.

Ánne does not fit the standards of beauty of the time, besides having lived a very difficult life. These things made her very insecure and dissatisfied with herself, even wanting people to call her by another name, so she can pretend to be someone else. We can see all this insecurity in the sentence: "Anne Shirley, but, oh, please do call me Cordelia."
