Basically copying sentences...very uncertain and long-winded viewing experience, I haven't finished writing and haven't checked, too sleepy
1. Family line
1. Mom Abigail
With such a mother, there will be such four sisters
Equality, perseverance, fraternity, caring and helping poor German neighbors, Amy was humiliated and beaten at school
The mother, who was clearly angry to the point of rage, stopped the more irritable Jo, wrote a stern and decent letter, let Amy study at home like Beth, and assigned Jo to teach her
"If you hit and humiliate a child"
Jo felt that writing a letter would not convince a bad male teacher, and her mother said, "We must not embrace violence." Don't approve of violence
"You're more intent upon reshaping your dear little nose than in fashioning your charactor."
Jo doesn't forget to tease Amy in his anger, "It's an appalling school. Your spellings are atrocious...Your Latin absurd."
After Meg's social humiliation, understand her vanity, enlighten her and feel guilty for not being able to provide a more egalitarian environment
" I only care what you think of yourself.
If you feel your value lies in being merely decorative I fear that someday you might find yourself believing that's all that you really are.
Time erodes all such beauty, but what it can not disminish it's your wonderful working of your mind. Your humor, your kindness and your moral courage.
These are the things I cherish so in you. I cherish your humor and kindness and moral courage
"I so wish I could give my girls a more just world."
She loves every daughter dearly. After Beth died, she said, "Will we never all be together again?"
Will also mention to Laurie's male tutor that women are always at home and corset, which only causes them weakness, dizziness and discomfort
My crazy dream is to become a very rich old aunt, but not this kind of rude judgment and mixing in other people's lives
"Abigail, I shake my head at the way you're managing Margaret."
"though I don't know who marries governesses."
However, although Europe did not take Jo, the large villa was left to her
2. Four sisters
①The eldest sister, Meg, has a relatively quiet, tolerant personality, conservative and principled, and doesn’t like to talk about money. The “normative” sisters are not allowed to speak foul language and slang (awful is slang?)
She said, "I dislike all this money talk." It is not only the nobleness of family education and self-awareness, but also the avoidance of reality and embarrassment?
When Jo responded, "...then I'd like say the Marches are the most elegant family in Concord."
That's when Amy said, "We'll all grow up someday, Meg"
Does it mean that when everyone grows up, they will no longer have financial problems? Or will Jo become more "mature" and "sensible" when he grows up?
“Lovely weather for a picnic.”
"You should let them speak first. What will they think of us? Oh. Don't look back."
When you are old enough to participate in social networking, wear a dress sewn by yourself to the first social dinner
"They have views on Slavary."
Publicly denounced the silk-making industry that uses child labor; when he returned home, he also confessed that he was willing to be noticed, to be proposed to marriage, and to have 20 pairs of gloves, before letting people make up and put on beautiful skirts with corsets
I find Laurie annoyed when he first touches Laurie and picks up her feet out of concern, at Gardiner's house because Laurie's "rescuing" from the so-called gentlemen and teases her and pokes her chest with her fingers (Laurie's words and deeds are really not enough) Upright and polite), when the younger sisters in their warehouse were rehearsing a drama, they saw him suddenly appearing and covered their chest with clothes at a loss... But he was also moved by Laurie's sincere expression and welcomed him to join the "drama" society"
To be a tutor, to pull the cloth head? Saved money, willing to spend on luxury Limes for Amy
He has a good relationship with John, the former tutor of the neighbor's rich Laurie's house, and doesn't care that he has no house for the time being
I don't want Jo to know my vanity and embarrassment
Meg's own skirt is very elegant and generous
②Second sister Jo, who loves learning, writing, and drama, has a frank, generous and tenacious personality, the most feminist consciousness, and the most resistant words and deeds
I won't get married for money, after all, what if my husband goes bankrupt, ahahaha
If you earn royalties and become a writer, are you willing to buy the best piano for Beth, and save money to buy a beautiful dress for Beth?
"Wait'till I'm a writer. I will buy you the best piano in creation."
"I'd commit murder to go to college."
I usually go to a wealthy and elderly aunt's house to read to her. Originally, I had the opportunity to travel with my aunt to Europe. I also planned to go to New York to do stage work.
"No wonder you don't learn anyting at that school."? ? ?
Loving her family deeply, laughing at Amy's vanity and resenting her being punished at school;
"You're dead, you're nothing. I never want to see you again."
Can't forgive Amy's anger and heartache for burning the thick manuscripts she has accumulated over the years, and blames herself for Amy's falling into the ice cave for chasing her and Laurie.
Admiring mother's generosity, self-blame, reflecting on their own inadequacies
"I don't know if I could ever be good like Marmee.
I rather crave violence and go to war and stand up to the lions of injustic."
-"And so Marmee does in her own way." (Beth)
"But I want to do something different !I don't know what it is yet,but I'm on the watch for it."
Raised for my mother to take care of my father's ticket/travel fee, but refused to ask my aunt to ask for it, so I sold my long hair
"I couldn't bear to ask her"
"It isn't going to affect the state of Union. It'll grow back."
After arriving in New York "Men do not vote because they are good. They vote because they are male."
And women should vote not because they are angels and men are animals but because we are human beings. "
-"You should have been a lawyer, Miss March."
“I should have been a great many things . ”
③The third sister, Beth, loves the piano and is a loyal supporter of Jo's works
The most silent and tender girl who contracted scarlet fever to take care of the Hammers for her mother
"I'd like the war to end so Father can come home."-"Oh, sweet Beth. We all want that."
"They do have a beautiful piano."
Comforting Amy who is frustrated because he can't go to the opera
④The fourth sister Amy, willful and precocious
I am willing to share the piano with my sister Beth, although the piano is originally shared~
"And if she doesn't, you can come over and play mine.
When I marry, I'm going to be disgustingly rich ."
Plan to marry a rich man, and also say that a person can choose who to love
"And what if the man you love is a poor man but good, like father?"
"Well, it isn't like being stuck with the dreadful nose you get. One does have a choice to whom one loves."
To a certain extent, it is a bit like Meg, and will check Jo's words and expressions
-"Blast these wretched skirts."
-"Don't say blast and wretch."
-"Don't be such ninny-pinny." Jo said and casually gave change to beggars on the side of the road who may have been injured by the war
Meg danced in the cloth shoes she made and got her feet wobbly, and was sent back by Laurie's carriage. Amy chased after Laurie, thinking that Meg and Jo
Lucky to ride in his carriage, Laurie also asked if it was romantic and if she had put the snow on Meg's ankles herself.
Mom criticized her, " I won't have my girls being silly about boys .To bed."
Jo also said, "Oh, stop being so swoony...
You mustn't be soppy about Laurie anymore than you should be soppy... about those silly girls at school."
After being rescued from the ice cave by Jo and Laurie, ask Jo, "Do you love Laurie more than you love me?"...
"I'm not too little. You're just hogging Laurie."...
Because she didn't bring her to the opera, and Jo's teaching at home was relatively strict, the accusation made her burn Jo's hard work.
No one should be mad. After Jo yelled, scolded and pushed, Mom and Beth comforted her, not forcing her to forgive her sister immediately
"It is a very great loss, and you have every right to be put out.
But don't let the sun go down upon your anger.
Forgive each other."
"I will never forgive her."
2. Opera, Writing, Education
Rodrige & Vielot from a play written by Jo himself?
What was the opera that Laurie and governess John invited the sisters to see?
Father, passionate about philosophy, was wounded on the North-South battlefield because school for black girls was forced to close
Both sisters have worked as tutors
3. Love Jo&Laurie
When the two met for the first time, they were very cautious.
Laurie didn't know the etiquette and didn't know if she should put on her jacket; Jo just shook hands with him and immediately took it back, knowing that he also noticed that Meg had "reported" that her sister had accidentally burned her "bald" forehead.
"Show off" and share your ideals in life
We can have fun together, and hope to go to Harvard to study together
Didn't notice Meg and John's romance
Jo went to New York to meet the professor, watched the opera and kissed unexpectedly, and also felt that she was not so happy, comfortable, restrained and unconfident.
Especially when they were separated, the professor's denial of her work, although it was accurate, also seemed indifferent and distant.
Until the professor came to deliver the book, it seemed that Jo finally "met" his expectations. The lack of character portrayal is one aspect, and there is also the reason for the relatively large age gap between the actors themselves. 20 years old is simply a crushing experience.
And after Laurie was heartbroken by Jo's rejection of marriage proposal, she changed from a naughty and natural (Amy's evaluation) teenager to a slightly sloppy, wretched dude in Europe
A wealthy and lonely teenager, he was accepted and loved by the warm and optimistic March family of neighbors, sharing happiness and getting through difficulties together.
In this extremely beautiful and unforgettable time for him, the most important and profound bond is of course Jo
However, the failure of his confession caused him a heavy blow to his heart, whether out of pride or inferiority, and he had to cut off his emotional connection with the March family.
So when he reunited with Amy in Paris, his "hook up", "nostalgia" for Amy, and Amy's accusation gave him the courage to climb out of the "quagmire"
His thorough confession to Amy at the beginning, to the later pretentiousness, is also his attempt to grab a life-saving straw.
In his anger trying to learn to do business? When I received a letter from Jo, I learned that Beth had passed away, Meg was about to give birth, and Jo returned to Concord.
I thought he was going to "resurrect" and take this opportunity to come back to Jo to get through this difficult time with her
Who would have thought of running to Paris to propose to Amy... Maybe out of extreme pride, extreme resignation to Jo, extreme attachment to March's family?
It was his deepest love for Jo and his deepest "revenge" to marry his old love (also considered a "childhood") sister and return to his hometown.
After Jo received Laurie's letter, he waited for his news, but what he waited for was "two little no guesses" and his sister came together
It is impossible not to be discouraged, and it is unrealistic not to be sad.
The picture of the three together is really hard not to think of a "dog blood" triangle or even four corners of emotional entanglement
Amy also knowingly asked her sister Jo if she minded.
There are also adult actors of Amy, who appeared for too short a time, their age sense is not much different from that of Jo, and they look a bit like Beth and lose their recognition. There are multiple reasons.
Make this character not only unapproachable, but also more annoying
Amy's childhood vanity, desire to be admired by heterosexuals, "jealousy" of Jo's beauty and popularity
Fall into the ice cave? Rescued by L and J, sent to aunt's house by L for isolation... Dependence, attachment, mixed with complex emotions
Caring too much about her appearance, her nose is not good-looking enough; for Jo's strict tutoring, she burned the crystallization script of her inspiration and hard work
Jo was so angry that he beat her, but he soon regretted and reflected on her
How hard are the days, the neighbors in Germany have lost their father, and the mother is giving birth to the 6th child? No one at home who can communicate in English
Beth, who missed and cared for them, was also infected with scarlet fever. The doctor of the neighbor L's family came to see him and suggested to give up the treatment.
The sisters want to get back the mom and dad who took care of their war-wounded dad, but can't afford the carriage ride to and fro
It was L who got her mother back overnight. Beth survived under her mother's careful care, but her heart and body were also weak.
Out of danger, Beth came downstairs, everyone celebrated and watched her accept the beautiful piano presented by the L family
Dad has recovered too, and Laurie's tutor, John, is here too.
M's child is born, a dragon and a phoenix?
4. The Status and Situation of Women in the 1860s
160 years later, is there much progress?
Women in that era had almost no choice but to marry a (rich) person
Harvard does not accept female students, and J and L also lose the opportunity to learn and grow together
Work, don't get married, unless you're very rich? Otherwise it is almost not allowed
Like the Great-Aount March?
If Beth, who loves to play the piano, is kind and warm, and loves her sister Jo's works, does not die early, and lives and runs a school with J in the big house left by her aunt
How happy and comfortable it should be, fortunately there is a sister who has been a tutor, will you come to help?
Mum tells Beth to remember to visit the Hammers before going to hospital to care for injured dad
Jo also has a career in writing and education that she loves and at least earns some pocket money for contributing to the Eagle
She went to London alone to teach her landlord? Submitting "vulgar" content to the newspaper may be adopted, insist on writing...
The professor is the only light she has encountered, the lonely XX former professor can only take her to watch the opera
Giving her guidance/guidance is her motivation
Five, Taiwan vocabulary
"First rule of writing, is never write what you know.
What do we think of the boy?
Is he a capitive like Smee in Nicholas Nickleby?"
"He looks lonely. You don't think he'll try to call?"
"He's had no upbringing at all, they say. He was reared in Italy among artists and vagrants."
"Doesn't he have a noble brow?
If I were a boy, I'd want to look just like that.
Imagine leaving Italy to live with that old awful man."
"Jo,please don't say awful.It's slang."
"I'd be terrified to live with him."
"I shouldn't mind living in such a fine house and having nice things.
"I wish I didn't have to work for Gret-Aount March...that crabby old miser."
"I wouldn't marry for the money.
I mean, what if his business goes bust.
Besides, down at the Eagle, they pay $5 for each story they print.""
"Gentlemen, I dislike all this money talk. It isn't refined."
Of course there's the gender-swappable hilarity of dressing up as a gentleman?
But does the average gentleman dress up as a "lady" to talk about it? very little
"A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a proper way." Gentlemen can't love money either.
“If lack of attention to personal finances is a mark of refinement
then I'd say the Marches are the most elegant family in Concord."
"We'll all grow up someday, Meg. We might as well know what we want."
