* NewTechnologyIsEvil: A fairly common trope in Montgomery's work. The Murrays in the Emily series are considered old-fashioned by their neighbors for using candles instead of kerosene lamps, and in "Pat of Silver Bush" makes fun of her cousins for getting their water from a tap.

** Interestingly, Montgomery's ambivalence about new technology did not extend to cars, which are portrayed very positively in later works such as "The Blue Castle" and "Jane of Lantern Hill."
