THE TRUTH .::. the girls school is a boarding school, and the smallest and bravest is Madeline. None of them are orphans, and the school is not an orphanage. However, in the film, with Hatty Hones as Madeline, Madeline was an orphan. Since, back then, if you were an Orphan you would be a member of the church. Miss Clavel, being a "nun", was given the duty of looking after Madeline It so happened that Miss Clavel worked at a boarding school for girls. But in the original, she is NOT an orphan.
@3jennybenny In th original books and tv specials Madeline was not an orphan. In the tv special "Madeline's Christmas" both of her parents are alive and they visit her for Christmas. However, after the live action film starring Frances McDormand was created Madeline becoame an orphan.
@entertainer1987 so just so we're clear, the house the girls stay in isnt an orphanage but a boarding school? my whole life i thought it was an orphange lol which confused me on how the parents are in the christmas special lol
@emo102492 Well originally it was supposed to be an orphanage but it was later changed into a school for girls and Madeline's parents were still alive because of this.
