She objectively doesn't bring productivity to the household. Matthew can't have her work in the fields bc it's socially unacceptablepic.twitter.com/gX3h6vjXHU
Anne's experience as a worker is in childcare, which the Cuthberts can't use bc they have no younger children. She's a net financial loss
That's the whole fucking goddamn point, that's why everyone in town sees her adoption as unusual and noteworthy
When Anne misbehaved at the last home she stayed at she was brutally beaten, this was like the most famous scene from the pilotpic.twitter.com/3kNARmmw3z
That's because it's an escapist fantasy that didn't actually happen. They made the remake "gritty" to remind us most kids like her diedpic.twitter.com/JMuitV2Pcg
One of the things the remake highlights is the inherent cruelty of judging kids by how much "value" they offer you
Allowing a kid to become attached and then throwing them back like an underweight fish is one of the most traumatizing things that happens
It still happens ("disruption") in the foster/adoption system today, when we don't openly see kids as small indentured employees
Which is why the remake amps up the angst of the initial "misunderstanding" of Anne being a girl instead of playing it for laughs
Like yes bc of her reading she does a bad impression of Hamlet's Ophelia but she genuinely is in such distress she might die
I'm still not sure what this show has to do with birth rate? I don't know any parent who birthed their child for economic improvement???
Longs for a return to the days when kids were viewed as economic assets, therefore we had more. Also assumes lower birth rates are bad.
