Hi guys thank you so much for stumbling onto this video. I was on holiday last week but am back for the regular schedule! What did you think of this video, do you agree? Let me know in the comments down below!
I love how there's currently a re-reading of classics from a queer perspective! Jo is definitely queer, whether people like it or not. There have been people even saying that she might be ace, and I just think it is so wonderful to have so many discussions on the topic, because queer people have always existed! I'm glad I found your video. Really interesting! 😊
it's kind of weird how to be she either has to be a feminist or queer, and she is textually a feminist. but wouldn't it make equal sense for a lot of her belief in feminism to exist alongside her queerness ? they aren't two different things, they (especially in that time) would probably inform each other.
Completely agree! Making the video came from the fact that I read her as a queer character and googling if anyone felt the same and getting more results being “no she’s just a feminist” - definitely agree that both coincide with each other but I wanted to add my perspective on her character and why I think she wasn’t just a feminist :)
@@sapphicreadingcorner ooh yeah definitely!! i should've been clearer; i meant people saying she couldn't be queer cos she's explicitly written to be a feminist (as based on Alcott) when feminism and the sapphic identity overlapped so much, both in the past and now. me personally, i've always read her as aromantic and/or asexual. especially in the 2019 movie. that marriage proposal was brutal.
