Cultural references
•The titles of this and the following episode ("I Am No Bird, and No Net Ensnares Me") are references to Chapter 23 of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë's novel which had an influence on L.M. Montgomery's writing. The titular character works as a teacher for wealthy Mr. Rochester, whom she secretly loves. Believing he is about to get married to another woman, she wants to leave his house and go to Ireland. Jane eventually tells Mr. Rochester, "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.", to which he replies: "And your will shall decide your destiny."
•Anne herself mentions Jane Eyre to Mrs. Spencer on the train to Bright River. Anne expresses her love for both the novel and character and quotes the heroine's thought, If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, but your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends. Mrs. Spencer apparently doesn't know the book and believes that Jane Eyre is a real person.
•Just like in the original novels, Anne frequently uses the phrase scope for imagination, which is borrowed from Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy.
•Anne wants to be called Penelope as she believes that name has a tragical ring to it and would suit her misfortune. It is likely a reference to Penelope, the wife of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey, who was separated from her husband for many years after he went to fight in the Trojan War.
•When Marilla asks Anne about her family background, the latter quotes the first line (Somewhere in la Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those with a lance and ancient shield on a shelf who keeps a skinny nag and a greyhound for racing...) of Don Quixote, a famous Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Anne, however, changes la Mancha in the original version to a far-off land for the purposes of her story.
