Has anyone read Little Woman by Louisa May Alcott?

Have I read it??
thinks about nine year old me completely traumatized by Beth's illness
Yup

I LOVE LITTLE WOMAN
I read the book
I was in the play (I played amy (the most wonderful woman in the world))
I reread the book
I saw the play (completely different play than I was in)
Was Jo for character day (no one knew who I was, all of those uncultured swines)
I visited Louisa May Alcott's house

Wow lol. I've read the book a million times but I've never done any of that. That's awesome

I love just rereading the book its just so refreshing of done it a couple of time. Or i just read random parts

who is your favorite character?

Probably Jo. Or Laurie. Or Meg. Ahh it's too hard to choose

For me it would probably be Beth or amy (the most wonderful woman in the world).

To be honest I was extremely disappointed when Laurie married amy (the most wonderful woman in the world), I really shipped him with Jo.

Beth was such an angel. The only reason why she's not my favorite is because it was kinda too obvious what her fate was gonna be. I mean, she was so perfect! Injustice is like a huge literary element. Any time they can hurt/kill a character that definitely does not deserve it, they will lol

Same!! Jo and Laurie were perfect for each other

At least Jo got Dr. Bhaer. Even if he is like twice her age. (at least in the movie)

pretty sure he was a lot older than her in the books too…
kinda weird…

The movie was filmed in 1994 - 24 years ago
the actor that played jo is 46 - 22 during movie
the actor that played bhaer is 68 - 44 during movie
22 year age difference between the two

HE WAS TWICE HER AGE

EW THAT'S DEFINITELY WEIRD

meanwhile laurie actor is 44 - was 20 thats only a two year difference

wayyy more normal imo

laurie and young amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) had 8 year age gap
laurie and older amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) had 4 year age gap

this isn't as weird, quite normal actually

I know!! Jo was my favorite, and I shipped her with Laurie sooooo hard! I never really liked amy (the most wonderful woman in the world), so that might be part of my dislike for how the relationships ended up.
