Little Women: Amy's Art 

Oh Sugar.... this was a classically trainee artist.... so he must have taken a gazillion types of art classes by several different people.... she was just one of many..... she’s not “the Art Teacher”..... just a teacher... sigh...

alejandromolinac why so many pauses lmao

alejandromolinac so dramatic lmao 😂

Lucy Marshall lol yea

@@alejandromolinac I don't think you needed to clarify. I'm an artist and I have had probably 20 or more art teachers.

Same here

Not now. Everyone loves her in the new version.

If you liked her, it's not the world who sees her at that way. It's only few people. Maybe majority but not all of them. Also, I don't think that her sister wanted portrait her in evil way or people know her by the books. She was inspiration for the books but she was a real person and not a character. We don't know who she really was and we can't judge her

Amy March has always been my girl. I think she was always a strong women who knew what she wanted. She wanted Laurie and she got them. People liked Jo because she was not like other girls and people didn't like Amy because she was "like other girls." Amy's a #boss.

Florence Pugh gives Amy a new, beautiful depiction. 😍 All love for Florence, a wonderful actor for Amy March.

Why? I didn't catch it

I wouldn’t go that far.

@S L I'm sure the over-looked artist in question would disagree

@S L I'm not a layman and if she were alive today, yes, I'm SURE she'd be a bit ticked off - and wouldn't say no to wider recognition and fame in her own country at least.

I wouldn't say that. She lives on as an artist in history and in Little Women.

Random Girl I think it’s because of the movies (not the new one). I just recently watched the 1933 version and at parts where they kept everyone else’s lines almost the same as the book they would completely change hers to make her sound mean, rude, and spoiled.

@@marisag19 Yes, i need to watch the other versions. I saw some parts of Laurie and Amy in the older version and i didn't like that much, i thought it was really cringe. Btw i only watched the newest version and i loved Amy, she was my favorite! And i'm pretty sure it's because Florence plays her (i love that actress!) and Greta made justice for this character who has been hated for years! Omg the power!

All the sisters are relatable, a whole package in a body I guess

In the books, Amy was a bit self-important and rather spoiled. She threw a book Jo was working on since she was a kid into a fire just because they had a disagreement. In the Good Wives, her character wasn't even greatly improved, and maybe her and Teddy's relationship felt a little too forced. Maybe she wasn't really a bad character, it's just that it's hard for her character to gain its readers affection when a character so relatable like Jo exists, and someone so kind and saintly as Beth exist too

because she’s selfish as fuck

Yessss i love that series

was just thinking she looks familiar!!!

Yes!

Elle Daniels same!

No that was just her middle name, just like her sister the author of the Little women, Louisa May Alcott

I think amy came from Abigail

Yes. The author used May as an anagram for Amy. She was the inspiration behind the character.

Louisa May Alcott’s youngest sister Abigail was the inspiration behind Amy. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_May_Alcott_Nieriker See this link. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisa_May_Alcott Also read this and you’ll know who actually were the inspirations behind the characters.

@@remy9051 so did abigail and louisa alcott have the same middle name, theirs was both may?

I agree where you’re coming from I thought Amy had also taken it too far burning Jo’s Book. However I then remember she was only a child and sometimes you don’t fully think through the consequences to your actions at that age nor know how to deal with anger/jealously in a mature, non destructive way.

@@milkberri She admitted to know that she was doing would hurt Jo...she's not innocent

@@angela7014 Yeah but she was a kid & angry + her & Jo's relationship was clearly the most complicated out of all the sisters (probably because they were actually quite similar deep down but had very different ways about going after what they wanted). Obviously Amy burning the book was wrong but one bad action as a kid shouldn't haunt someone for life (especially as no one was phyically harmed). As the baby of my family I can say that most families probably do some mean shit to eachother (despite loving eachother of course) while growing up. My sister's sometimes used our dad's lighter to melt/burn my toys, my brother used to hide my sister under the bed & call her a monster when she was first born, we've slapped/chocked/punched & pulled eachother's hair over the most stupid shit, we've switched from insulting eachother to ignoring eachother & back again for hours, we've stolen/hidden/runied & broke eachother's stuff on purpose for all sorts of reasons because we were kids & understanding/controlling your emotions is just not something most people are good at yet. When I started secondary school (so age 11) I used to scream horrible shit at my mum just because my hormones were going crazy so I was just stressed out 24/7 & once during an argument with my dad I remember I just got so mad that without thinking I picked up the first thing on hand, which was a bible, & tried to throw it at he's face (luckily I have terrible aim so it hit a cupboard instead). So I just don't get this grudge against Amy. I mean obviously if she'd burnt the book over something so small as an adult I would agree that she deserved worlds biggest bitch award but she didn't. Like kids (especially kids on the cusp/in the middle of puberty) are fucking feral & really don't need much reason to do some pretty bat shit stuff. Lastly it's not like Amy didn't suffer at all for what she'd done as Jo definitely would have beat her up worse if the others hadn't intervened, she then had to except the guilt over hurting her sister (which she did & that is actually pretty mature for a kid her age) & then she almost drowned in a frozen lake because her sister didn't want to talk/spend time with her after what she'd done.

Angela i think the fact that she knew what she was doing was wrong doesn’t super negate the fact that she was a child. not that children don’t know right from wrong, but children (especially teens) have such a hard time regulating their emotions. an adult who has learned how to regulate their emotions may go through multiple steps-i’m angry so i want to hurt my sister->she is writing a book so i want to burn this book->but this would really hurt her->that would ruin my relationship with her->is my anger appropriate for the situation? a child may only go through the first two steps before action. that doesn’t make what she did right at all, i just think it makes her human. i didn’t like amy at all at the beginning of the story (largely because of the book burning scene), but the main theme of the story is growth, and i definitely thought she grew up a lot. still a little self-centered, but much more tempered and able to express herself in productive ways.

No one cares.

Me too.

I will never never understand why people hate her so much. She always been my favorite.

Ya, the first few chapters make her seem really superficial

amy is baby.

@@lisah8438 I hated her from when she burned Jos book.

Like the other Bolyen girl?

Shramana Das Dutta Haha sort of I guess. It is about May’s life.

I recently ordered this book on Amazon! I should get it any day. I can't wait!

Tranisha Thomas Yay! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂

Yup!

Claire Novak ladies and gents

I saw her and i clicked the video and liked the very first second❤️

Claire's working a case

@@jackiewang8411 Probably a case involving time travel.

Isn’t she the typical slytherin sister

@chloe ing She was. She is such a queen!

No may was the name used by her sister

aparnasalini So they both had «May» in their names?

Yes

May is the sister that became Amy in the book. Louisa became Jo in the book. It's not one-to-one based off true life, but there are real-life elements in there.

May was both Louisa and Abigail’s middle name. But Abigail went by May.

EXACTLY! That’s what I said, I felt that the actresses and actors in the 3 part series just brought the books to life and truly explored the different events that happen in the books

The book was heavily influenced by the author's relationships with her sisters in real life, but it's not 100% autobiographical.

Just say it’s semi-autobiographical haha

Yes! As already commented here. Not entirely factual, but based on certain aspects of the Alcott family in general.

Yeah, this girl is from society. I loooove her and waiting for the 2nd season.

What?! Where did you get this? Amy burned Jo's books because Jo didn't take take her to the theater! Amy went and followed Laurie and Jo when the two wanted to ice skate because she wanted to apologize to Jo who had not been speaking to her, that's when she fell in the frozen lake! Amy and Laurie's relationship did not develop until she was already abroad and was considering marrying some other man because he was financially stable although she was not in love with him! There was never a rivalry in love between Amy and Jo! Jo, although she had affection for Laurie, never accepted his proposal because she knew she and Laurie have strong personalities that will clash in the end if they get together. Little Women/Good Wives was never a love story, it is a story of the trials that young girls go through in order to become proper women.

@@irEyERWO Amy March is so cute and spoiler

That's not rlly how the story goes. There was no rivalry between Amy and jo over Laurie.

@@sandhyachristine7173 they are just sisters

Bbc tv series in 2017-18

Not exactly like the book, but Louisa May Alcott did become a writer in real life and supported the family with her income as an author.

Maybe May put different aspects of her character into the sisters

She was grew up to become an an amazing artist though.
