* AlternateAesopInterpretation: While the novel and its adaptations preach about forgiveness and friendship, some people have point out another alternate lesson: Humans are not perfect but they have a chance to redeem themselves if they want to, since Annette, Lucien and the rest of the characters have showed their own faults and weaknesses. It helps that the story was inspired from author's experiences in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.



** Annette herself is this especially in the anime. There were some viewers who dislike her for being {{Jerkass}} and couldn't forgive Lucien for so long. On the other hand, others find her to be interesting for having a well-rounded personality and character development, and being a more complex and flawed character than the usual sweet and perfect heroine who is the biggest {{Woobie}} ever (who was typical of dramatic animes of the 70s/80s like Manga/CandyCandy and Manga/{{Georgie}}).

Added DiffLines:

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Lucien is an outcast who gets a lot of hatred in-universe, but many readers/viewers considers him the real hero of the story, and more relatable than Annette. The "unpopular" part is downplayed in the anime, as several characters genuinely like him.

* HilariousInHindsight: In Episode 6 of the anime version, Annette said to her dad that she's [[LikeBrotherAndSister like a big sister]] to Lucien. Annette and Lucien's Japanese voice actresses Keiko Han and Eiko Yamada would later work on ''Anime/AiNoWakakusaMonogatari'', with the former would be played as Meg while Jo is voiced by the latter.

* JerkassWoobie: Lucien gets into petty fights with Annette early in the story and also takes his anger out on Dani, which eventually caused his horrible accident. But he didn't hurt him on purpose, was intensely remorseful over it, and tried everything he can to make up with Annette and her brother. For most of the story he's ostracized by everyone (though less so in the anime) and Annette treats him horribly. As the story goes on, he becomes more of an IronWoobie.

* MisBlamed: In the anime version, Klaus is sometimes blamed by some viewers for causing Anette and Lucien's relationship being broken and Dani's near death experience. In reality, ermines like him aren't suppose to be taken care as pets as they tend to be agressive. Annette's father Pierre even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades about it]] in Episode 10 after he saw his children adopting it.

** Annette gets this one too [[spoiler:after she broke Lucien's wood carving and realize that Lucien left the village due to his depression.]]
* NeverLiveItDown: After a lot of CharacterDevelopment, Annette's habit of destroying Lucien's woodcarvings made a good amount of readers find her actions to be [[{{Irony}} difficult to forgive]], even if she's done something good since then. Especially in the anime version, to the point that some Japanese viewers nicknamed her as [[FanNickname "Queen of Destruction"]] because of it.

** The anime version of Dani as well.

On the other hand, others like him for being nicer than his sister, and especially more sympathetic towards Lucien.
