And I love how this quote works both ways. I grew up in a conservative immigrant family and now, at the age of 25, everyone around me tells me that I SHOULD get a boyfriend and get married and have children, because that’s the tradition and what all my female cousins have done. But my dream has never involved that. I’ve always been the nerdy “academic” type that likes studying (I know! How can someone like studying? Even I don’t know what’s wrong with me lol), reading and writing, as well as singing and other artistic things. I am content on my own (with 2 cats) living in a small apartment with a busy job and a small circle of friends. Apart from wanting to get a job that pays better, I wish for nothing more from life. I’m easily satisfied this way. A lot of people from my family think this life path of living alone is bizarre and that I couldn’t possibly be happy without a man and a “real family”. What can I say? My dreams are just different than yours. If you cannot understand, then at least respect it. That’s all anyone could ask for.

But you can’t fully appreciate your accomplishments if you never faced a reality of struggling to pay your bills. There is nothing glorious about things being given to you by someone without knowing a struggle. Also other people will take a credit for your accomplishments because without them you couldn’t do it. Yes, Jo struggled but that means she can take full credit for her success. And that’s I think is the most important

Amy's romanticism over choosing a gloriously wealthy and legendary love so she'd never have to suffer poverty again and would have pretty things gave way to pragmatism when she realized that Aunt March was right. One of the girls needed to marry rich to ensure her family was taken care of. Meg was technically supposed to be the one to do this since she was the oldest and the most interested in high society early on but she fell in love with a poor man. Jo doesn't want to marry at all let alone for money, and Beth is far too fragile health wise to go courting. So Amy is the only hope for her family. That kind of pressure is crushing and she lost a lot of that mischievous spark she once had but she's damned determined to succeed. She's definitely my favorite.

Right!? I see qualities of myself through all of the sisters. Not just one. At first when I read the book for the first time, I admired Jo sooooo much and put her in a pedestal in my mind to where I wanted to be her...I realized that I’ve always been more like Amy...with some Beth. And some unconventionality like Jo...just a tad. PS: I used to hate Amy. Lol 😂 like legit. Now I see her in a new light and not because of the Greta Gerwig movie but because I’ve grown and that has changed my mentality. There’s NOTHING wrong with knowing what you want and that you know you are materialistically inclined.

So what would the girls be, house wise? I agree with Amy as Slytherin. Beth is absolutely a Hufflepuff I actually see Meg as a Gryffindor And Jo as a mix of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. I guess considering the other three are each a house, that leaves Jo with Ravenclaw.
@MelanieNLee
@MelanieNLee 4 года назад
I agree that Amy is a Slytherin, though she might fit into Gryffindor, too, and Beth is definitely a Hufflepuff. Meg is a Gryffindor, though she could probably fit into Slytherin. I see Jo as a Ravenclaw (as I am), though she could fit into Gryffindor, too. The March family as a whole fits into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. The dad is a Ravenclaw, and Marmee is a Gryffindor, maybe a Hufflepuff. Aunt March is a Slytherin. Friedrich Bhaer is a Ravenclaw, but I'm not sure where to place Laurie or John Brooke. To the uninitiated, we're talking about the Hogwarts houses in the Harry Potter stories: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.

people could say stuff like that back that without being immediately thought of as being gay. In fact, if she had thought that was how her words would be taken, she probably wouldn’t have said them. Imo? It’s hard to tell. She had Jo end up with Bhaer because Laurie wasn’t manly enough for her (Jo was not just a tomboy, she was pro-masculinity). It could be that Alcott never found a man who measured up to her ideal of masculinity. And if she was gay, that’s fine, too.

A couple decades ago the same questions were raised about First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's letters to close friend Lorena Hickok. Louisa Alcott was said to have had a close relationship with a young Polish man, I think in Paris. Though "Little Women" is set in U.S. civil wartime of the 1860's, Louisa was born in 1832. As I recall, she nursed during the Civil War, got some horrific disease and was treated with an equally dangerous drug like calomel (mercury), or arsenic. As I understand it she was not well most of her life. (I did a quick source check but was only able to verify her birth year and her age at time of Civil War.)

I think Jo's character is often romanticized; she sort of seems to have a mindset that causes her not to enjoy the standards of the time she lives in, which pushes her to pursue what she knows is right and that's unique. But as someone who's extremely similar to that, it's actually really painful and lonely and a lot of the time you don't actually know or understand what you want because it's never clearly painted in the world you live in. It kind of sucks.

I love some comforts of home like Beth, but more as a place you know you are always welcome, and a place to create. And I have a desire to find love like Meg, but am content if I don't.

Not every lesbian acts as Jo does, I get it, but not conforming to the traditional traits of the gender at that time is a sign for me. Also, the way she avoids marriage speaks to me in ways that remind me of myself (a lesbian). She doesn't love Laurie romantically, and doesn't want to. You can totally see her as you want to.

Both the Alcott the author, Jo March the character, and Saiorse Ronan, the actress give me gay vibes ( Sersh comes across as handsome not as feminine pretty as Emma Watson does).. marrying Jo was a convention of the times. Greta Gerwing version has dragged Jo gay vibes in the open... and has done justice to Amy the kind of strong heterosexual women people often calls a bitch.. I bet Greta is a Amy person in the real world. Flo Pugh was the best part of the movie for me.

@@Silvercentipede I understand where you are coming from. That is definitely the impression that one gets from the movies for sure. At first reading, Beth might seem just as two-dimentional as in those movies, but you don't need to dig too deeply to find more to her. For instance, in the first chapter, she seemed to be the most caught up in the rehearsal for the play they were to put on that Christmas day. At one point Jo quoted a line from MacBeth as she saw a famous actor do, only to be told by Meg, "No, it's the toasting fork, with Mother's slipper on it instead of the bread. Beth is stagestruck!" She confessed her burden to her sister "Yes I do. Mine is dishes and dusters and envying girls with nice pianos and being afraid of people." She seemed to be forgetful. The most extreme example was during the chapter Experiments. She was(spoilers) described as constantly forgetting it was to be all play and no work, showing herself also to be a creature of habit. But the worst example of forgetfulness was (again, spoilers)when she forgot to feed her canary and he ended up dying. Much to her heartbreak. She loved animals as much as she loved her family and music. Also that chapter seemed to show something interesting about her tranquility. It seemed she couldn't keep her serenity as well when she had no work to do? Or when her surroundings was unusually chaotic? I might be off here, but maybe routine helped her keep calm? The kind where her hands are busy and her mind free to daydream? For earlier the author made it clear that she seemed to live in a world of her own, only coming out to meet the few she trusted and loved. And another time saying she was neither lonely more idle because her world was peopled with imaginary friends and she was by nature a busy bee. I could go on, having barely scratched the surface but I won't in this post. Like I said, I can relate with her and other characters like her. The quiet often strike those who are more extroverted as dull, but remember that still water runs deep.

Congratulations on being a woman. The March sisters are not 2D characters, like women in other forms of fiction and popular culture, but most women, who are also deeply complicated beings with varying different characteristics, talents, dreams and ambitions, don't fall neatly into any rigidly defined stereotype or structured personality. That's the fundamental problem with the premise of this RU-vid video. Still doesn't stop the video from being fun, just means that it doesn't even touch the surface of what real-life women are really like.

Sansa Stark was definitely the Amy of her universe; though her original dream of marrying well and having a great love in her life was never meant to come true, she did (or will, in the ASOIAF books) change with time and achieved success in other areas.

@lasttoparty7570
@lasttoparty7570 4 года назад
I feel Sansa always fitted into the Amy profile. She didn't really want to have a family life for its own sake like Meg - Sansa wanted to shine, to be admired as the perfect lady and wife with the perfect, loving husband and the fairytale life. She wanted to be successful while conforming to how her society measured success. She was the traditional girly girl, she loved nice clothes and other luxuries, she was a little vain, admired beauty a great deal, she was ambitious and went to some lenghts to get what she wanted (lying to King Robert about the Arya vs Joffrey fight). By the end of her time in the Eyrie, Sansa shifted somewhat from wanting love and a Prince Charming to wanting power and control over her own fate (which she succeeded at getting in the show).

I've seen a lot of videos on the 2019 "Little Women" movie, and read the corresponding comments. From that, I feel that a lot of people adore Amy and now don't like Jo, after seeing this new adaptation. I think it's really disappointing, because the goal of the new movie wasn't to value Amy and put down Jo, but to put all 4 sisters in the spotlight. I do appreciate Amy's personnality, but still identify with Jo nonetheless.

It because Jo has been the ideal women archetype in popular culture for the last 30 years.

I loved the new movie because it made Amy into a real character. She's always been the one I identify the most with, so it makes me sad when people hate her. I understand what it's like to be the bratty one in the family, and want everything your sister has. The scene where she burns the pages because Jo left her could literally be a scene from my life (albeit one I'm not proud of), and I've felt the hurt of having your sister care about a thing more than you. Amy ends up getting everything her sister had, but my interpretation of that was a bit different from yours. With a lot of the subtext, I felt like Laurie didn't really love her that much, but she wanted so badly to be happy and have him that she ignored it. Amy gets what she wants, but she understands that by the time she does, it's often hollow or meaningless. But I don't know, that could just be me projecting onto her. Anyway, great analysis for a great movie. Keep up the good work!

I always related most to Amy when I read the book too, and I also felt sad when she was hated (kinda felt like they were hating me since felt so similar to her lol). I think shaming strong femininity is just another form of sexism, so I love this new take on the book because it shows there's no one way to be a woman and they all have valid life decisions. You can be traditionally masculine or traditionally feminine, sweet and quiet or independent and rowdy. True feminism is about freedom regardless if whether your male or female.

It shocks me that Amy was looked down. So many I know are like her. To me, I think they looked down on Amy because she knew how to play at society's rules. It's either to rebel or follow them in people's eyes when she followed the 3rd and hidden path. This is just me but knowing that a lot of women have had low self-esteem since the beginning of society makes me think that many disliked her from also seeing many similarities with her. Obviously, I am looking too much into it. In the end, I am a lot like Beth who can't help on admiring those who are like Amy + Beth. I am a feminist so it makes me sad to know that so many men and women think that feminism thinks we are supposed to have jobs, get rid of marriage when there is nothing wrong with wanting to carry strong feminity.

Little women is my favorite book of all time and I truly relate to Amy in the book and I never understood why she was classified as the brat. Sure she burned Jo’s book but she was just a child and she grew up. When the PBS series for little women came out i was so excited because I liked that they finally included a bit more of Laurie and Amy falling in love. My friends never understood my love of Amy and they stood by Jo being the best March sister (we’re high school students) but I still loved Amy and dreamed of my own Laurie. Now that the new movie came out my friends understand why I love Amy (although I still think that they could have put in more of Amy’s own kindness and the effort she put in to better herself). My best friend, Lily, and I have become accustomed to calling one another Meg and Amy since she’s like the elder and I like the younger sister. We used to dream of finding love, a John for her and a Laurie for me. Shortly before quarantine she found her John Brooke. I still hope to find my Laurie. Anyway, I didn’t start loving Amy when Greta’s movie came out, I loved her from the first time I read Little Women when I was 14. I admired her passion for art, ambition, and realism whilst still being a romantic. Laurie and Amy are my OTP (outside of Lily and her real life John Brooke) and I will always love both of their characters. I hope to become more like Amy by trying to better myself as she did and pursue my dreams and art (i play piano, act, dance, and sing but can’t draw to save my life). Though some of my friends see me as a kind Beth or loving Meg, I’ll always be an Amy.

The exact quote from Louisa mentioned in the Amy section is the exact one that made me start seeing her differently. I was definitely a spoiled youngest child when I was younger, and absolutely love nice, beautiful things, but it's not in vanity, it's because being around pretty things makes me feel happy.

I feel like Beth is so underrated because she's kind and quiet. Having these 2 traits often make people seem less-interesting than an assertive Jo and Amy. But I can also see the moral behind Beth's tragic end. Sometimes us Beth's often care too much about others, we don't care about ourselves at all and it is taken to our backlash. It's the sad truth us caring people need to hear.

Indeed, Jo comes across as judgemental to those women in her life who want to have a traditional family role or be traditionally feminine, both Amy and Meg and yes even Beth. On the other hand Jo's sisters are much more accepting of her ways than she is of them. Even Meg who initially tries to get Jo to behave more ladylike, gets Jo far more than Jo ever understand her sisters and that understanding comes to Meg early on in Little Women (and before Good wives). Jo, on the other hand is so busy railing against her position in life she can't put herself in other people's shoes. There is nothing wrong with Jo's non conformity it's her self absorption that is the issue. Interestingly this attitude is the case in modern society for the most part among feminists as exampled above in the comments. It is far more acceptable to be a career driven woman than one who is content with a traditional female role. Even further exampled and exemplified in the video by the way they treat Beth's character as 'too submissive'. She wasn't submissive, she was selfless. There's a difference. She had agency, she used that agency to care for others.

I think I'm mostly Beth. I'm compassionate, I love music and dolls, and I want to have the people I love around me. I'm also shy and introverted. I have creative ambition and dreams like Jo and Amy but my introversion makes it a struggle for me to persue it. In the 90s version when Clare Danes said "I like to be at home. But I hate to be left behind" I felt that. When I was younger I was more like Amy. I was self involved and spiteful. Burning Jo's manuscript was the kind of shady shit I would have done, or at least thought about doing. My strong sense of beauty leads me to love material things and high society and I'm kind of a perfectionist. I can also be pragmatic when something important is on the line. I was also like Jo when I was younger. I had creative ambitions and nothing but disgust for most traditional values and conventions. I had a temper and really knew how to hold a grudge. There's a little bit of Meg in there. I make the most of my circumstances but sometimes I get swept away by my ache for more excitement and luxury.

I know what you mean. While I love books and writing like Jo and have a beauty loving nature like Amy, I most relate to Beth. The only things that get me mad is when someone or something is being treated unfairly or when my environment is too chaotic and noisy/angry. I love sharing what I write and draw, but am perfectly content if they stay in my head, prefer it to be honest because when I try to capture what's in there, I only get a pale imitation of the beauty of my daydreams and that is discouraging. Plus I don't think people don't get how hard it is to be so timid and scared. I am scared of everything, it seems. Fear like that controls everything you do, and it takes so much more effort to do what others take for granted. I deal with it by my reading and daydreams, my spiritual life and focusing on making others feel loved and comfortable. That brings me peace. Also cats. Like Beth, I am a patron of cats. I bet if Beth lived today, she'll have a RU-vid channel full of videos of her kitties. Thank you.

The thing with Little Women is that, at least for me, I’m able to see a part of me in all of them. For some parts I’m 100% Jo, other I’m such an Amy. I can see myself in Meg but sometimes in Beth too.

Jo allllllll day, EVERYDAY! At 35 my mother and grandmother are worried I won’t *ever* want a husband or kids and instead want to do something beyond that. Not that a husband and kids aren’t important but like Jo it’s not *all* every woman who is ever born is meant to do or be a wife and/or mother. Some of us find happiness totally within ourselves and the work we do and how that work might impact the world 🙋🏽‍♀️

That doesn't change the fact. And I wasn't implying that it was a bad thing or made her less admirable character. I just meant that finding happiness in a work she was totally enthusiastic about and a marriage with like-minded person who she really admired didn't rule each other out in her life, that's all.

The non linear timeline was a stroke of brilliance. It gave a depth to each character, served as great juxtaposition of life as you're growing into adulthood and the kind of life you have as an adult, and served to humanize the characters by eliminating each trope they've fallen into over time. However, the one character it served the best was Amy as well as the romantic relationship and eventual marriage of Amy and Laurie; the way they first introduce him via a reunion with Amy instead of first meeting Jo and immediately have Laurie express that he's not sorry Jo rejected his proposal all gives validation and perspective to his falling in love with Amy making him realize that he never did love Jo in that way even if he'd thought he did which really makes the 2019 version almost flawless.

dragonmoth96 WRONG !!! _ Jo is a Slytherin with Gryffindor undertone because she is ambitious and resourceful. Her dream of becoming a writer is very important to her and will do anything necessary to make it a reality. She is a nonconformist idealist who dares to go her own way. _ Amy is a Ravenclaw with Slytherin tendency. In fact, she can be sorted into either house and still excel. Why ? Amy is ambitious just like Jo is in pursuing her dream but she also has fervent love for knowledge and fascination with history as well as tradition. Unlike Jo, Amy is a realist and proceeds life with logics. _ Meg is a total Hufflepuff because she does not seek vanity and values hardwork and loyalty. She would sometimes succumb to vanity but eventually choose to do the right thing in the end. _ Beth is a Ravenclaw with Hufflepuff personality for she values her pursuit of knowledge (evidently via her love of improving her skill in piano) above all else but she is also kind and loving. Because she possesses Hufflepuff quality, she is loyal and family-oriented. Nevertheless, the sorting hat will have a hard time deciding whether Beth should be sorted into Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw UNLESS she asks to be in Hufflepuff specifically. P/S: Please stop treating Slytherins like they are the villains. The truth is that Slytherins are complex in real life. They can become your best of friends or worst enemies depending on how you treat them. They can be the greatest heroes or the most twisted antagonists.

If you read Louisa's letter exchange with her publisher she was the one who came up with all the marriages. Friedrichs character in little women is based on philosopher Henry Thoreau Louisa was in love with him. Laurie is based on Ladislas Wisniewski a young man who was first flirting with Louisa and then betrayed him. In all of Louisa's novels these two male archetypes are constantly present. The Friedrich archetype is the humble hard working man (Fritz in lw, Mac in Rose in Bloom, David in Work) He has silent passion for the protagonist and the Louisa type of protagonist loves him and wants that equal relationship. Laurie archetype is charming but idle. He either puts his act together and falls for a female character (like Amy) who is stern with them or they fail and fet sucked into consuming toxic self-harming behavior. Little Women is all about Louisa's love life. That is why she had conflicted relationship towards it. Henry was 16 years older (same age difference than between Louisa and the professor) Ladislas was 10 years younger. Louisa and Henry, They did have an affair and almost a telepathic way of communication which is also present in the novels. Henry passed away 5years before LW was published. That is also why Louisa listed out to be nurse in the war. He had lost her sister Lizzie at the same time.

I think the only difference between Jo and Amy is that one is androgynous and the other is traditionally pretty/feminine. If Amy were androgynous, no one would think she was bratty and she probably wouldn't have cared as much about marriage/money because everyone would have given her the freedom/independence to make her own way.

I always pictured myself as a mix of Jo, Beth and Meg. I was a creative, feminist bookworm with aspirations of being a writer, and thought outside of the box, I was quiet, caring and liked music and loved my family, and I was the oldest sibling, and cared too much about what others thought, and was romantic, and wanted to find "The One"'. While I never identified with Amy, this analysis has helped me to appreciate her character more, as well as her similarities to Jo. 💘📕🎹🎨

I'd say that she is either a Libra or Taurus since both of those signs are ruled by planet Venus which is associated with beauty, luxury and peace. Amy also mentioned how Laurie is handsome because he's half Italian which makes me think of those two zodiac signs since they care about people's appearance's. And also, the actor who played Amy was a Capricorn which was why someone might confuse her for a Capricorn(I'm sorry. I looked into this too much).

The point of the movie was to show that all of the March sisters are equally worthy - casting Watson as Jo would have been TOO obvious. The book-smart rebel is a character Watson has played before and what a lot of people see. By casting her as Meg, the viewer feels a pull to the actor and thus the character, thus showing (and somewhat validating) that Meg's dreams of domestic fulfillment are as important as Jo's. Casting a relatively unknown actor as Meg wouldn't have had the same effect.
