All apparent individuals are only expressions of one individual…I AM. No one is from this planet. Everyone is from God, or consciousness. Everyone on earth is actually a space being, but no one comes from outer space, we come from inner space… (Aliens Among Us by Ruth Montgomery, 1985…chapter 8. Philosophy From…

Emily of New Moon Book Club ~~ First Time Reading

Chapter 3: A Hop out of Kin, Part 2

These are my quite belated opinions on the introductions of the Murrays that I said were coming last night, but life caught up to me!

Uncle Wallace

"he was black and grim and ugly, with frowning bristly brows and a stern, unpitying mouth. He had big pouches under his eyes, and carefully-trimmed black side-whiskers"

Uncle Wallace does not come across as pleasant at all in Emily's description of him. All of his actions are described as 'cold' as well. It is also implied at the end of his introduction that he is not super sharp because he can not think of something to say to Emily, though it could also be due to his surprise.

2. Aunt Eva

"Aunt Eva was sitting huddled up in a shawl...She shook hands with Emily and said nothing."

Aunt Eva is giving us a whole lot of nothing. I guess I give her points for not being awful, but those points are then taken away for doing the bare minimum which can be taken as rude.

3. Uncle Oliver

"He was big and fat and rosy and jolly-looking"

Now, Uncle Oliver is giving us something to work with here. He seems like a fun guy, but Emily, in her anxiety, takes his joke as a slight. Bonus points for him though because he doesn't take offense to her offense. So far, a favorite!

4. Aunt Addie

"She gave Emily's cold hand a nice, gentle squeeze. 'How are you, dear?' she said"

She is giving the most of them all so far, but that could be because she is only a Murray by marriage (I think at least, I could be wrong!). But she seems to understand how children work, especially when they need some kindness. Uncle Oliver + Aunt Addie are so far winning

5. Aunt Ruth

"She knew the cold, gray eyes, the prim, dull brown hair, the short, stout figure, the thin, pinched, merciless mouth."

Oh, I thought Uncle Wallace's introduction was rough...I got to Aunt Ruth's, and it was worse. She not only insults Emily but also her recently deceased father, hope her pride feels better after that low blow. But...because she sounds so horrible I feel an eventual redemption coming at some point. But right now she is in dead last place.

6. Cousin James Murray

Not a super good quote for him, but he seems nice, he will probably become a nice companion for Emily! He is in the positive but I haven't seen enough to get a full opinion. Just remembered that he does stand up for Emily later one so yah for him!

7. Aunt Laura

"It was her eyes that won Emily. They were such round blue, blue eyes. One never quite got over the shock of their blueness. And when she spoke it was in a beautiful, soft voice."

Aunt Laura for the win! She seems so sweet and lovely, and I know she and Emily will get along great, especially after she sneaks the cat in, but I have a feeling our next person will control Aunt Laura and stop her from showing fondness to Emily.

8. Aunt Elizabeth

"Her eyes, though steel-blue, were as cold as Aunt Ruth's and her long thin mouth was compressed severely."

Our foil to Aunt Laura at New Moon is Aunt Elizabeth, who seems more like Aunt Ruth than anybody else. Like I said I feel that she will control Aunt Laura but I also think that eventually she will come to love Emily as well!

Okay those were my thoughts to all the Murray introductions! Better late than never! Tomorrow I will post about both chapters four and five so I get back on track!

I would love to read about Ruth Dutton's (nee Murray's) childhood and youth... especially, given this situation:

"Ruth Murray," he [Jimmy] said, "do you remember the story that got around forty years ago about you and Fred Blair? Do you?"

Aunt Ruth pushed back her chair. Cousin Jimmy followed her.

"Do you remember that you were caught in a scrape that looked far worse than this? Didn't it?"

Again poor Aunt Ruth pushed back her chair. Again Cousin Jimmy followed.

"Do you remember how mad you were because people wouldn't believe you? But your father believed you—he had confidence in his own flesh and blood. Hadn't he?"

Aunt Ruth had reached the wall by this time and had to surrender at discretion.

"I—I—remember well enough," she said shortly.

Her cheeks were a curdled red. Emily looked at her interestedly. Was Aunt Ruth trying to blush? Ruth Dutton was, in fact, living over some very miserable months in her long past youth. When she was a girl of eighteen she had been trapped in a very ugly situation. And she had been innocent—absolutely innocent. She had been the helpless victim of a most impish combination of circumstances. Her father had believed her story and her own family had backed her up. But her contemporaries had believed the evidence of known facts for years—perhaps believed it yet, if they ever thought about the matter. Ruth Dutton shivered over the remembrance of her suffering under the lash of scandal."

What I can't cope with, OK, is L.M. Montgomery's use of bedrooms as a site of both autonomy and belonging. When Emily arrives at New Moon, she has to share the bed with Aunt Elizabeth and feels she is in bed with a griffon but when she moves into Juliet's old bedroom in the "lookout" she is overcome with the sense of nearness to her mother as well as having true space and freedom for the first time at New Moon. Later, she loses a lot of this sense of place and independence moving into Aunt Ruth's spare room where she doesn't have to share a bed, but can't even choose the pictures hanging on the walls - at the same time she loses her freedom to write fiction. Jane hates her bedroom at 60 Gay Street, finding it "hostile and vindictive" - in many ways just like Grandmother Kennedy, but at Lantern Hill, her father lets her choose everything that goes into her bedroom and she is allowed self expression. Her friends give her gifts to furnish it, as emblems of their love for her. Like Jane, Valancy has no control over the furnishings in her room, from the painted floor to the tacky artwork to the dingy and unwelcoming furniture, but she's so constrained that her only rebellion is to throw the jar of potpourri out the window because she's "sick of the fragrance of dead things". To have a sense of self, she imagines a magnificent castle as an escape and is delighted to find Barney's house is just as good a place to be who she wants to be - free from her family, making her own choices. Anne, upon marking the first anniversary of coming to Green Gables, reflects on the garrett room and finds it "as if all the dreams, sleeping and waking, of its vivid occupant had taken a visible although unmaterial form and had tapestried the bare room with splendid filmy tissues of rainbow and moonshine." Before Green Gables her life was probably a mix of dormitories and makeshift beds in attics that she couldn't change, in versions of her life with no freedom or affection. THEIR BEDROOMS ARE SYMBOLS FOR THEIR LIVES OK. When their rooms are controlled by others, their inner/emotional/creative lives are constrained. When they have their own rooms, they have autonomoy, they choose furniture, they have freedom, they have themselves, they have love, they have me gnawing armchairs about it.

Also funny that both Valancy and Emily are tormented at various times by inescapable portraits of queens - I do wonder if LM had one in her home that no one would let her take down.
