Whose fault was it when Pollyanna got hurt?

Answer 1

Her Aunt Polly's:

1. She banned her from speaking of her father in her house.

2. She gave her an attic bedroom instead of a "princess" bedroom.

3. She scolded her whenever she made a mistake.

4. She banned her from helping with the bazaar.

5. She banned her from going to the bazaar.

When Pollyanna got depressed after her accident, I wondered if she subconsciously tried to kill herself because everyone - even Mrs. Tarbell - came to love her, but it wasn't enough. She wanted Aunt Polly to love her, too.

Reverend Ford condemned Aunt Polly for her behavior and forced her to see the error of her ways. As a result, she learned what love was and even married Dr. Chilton!
