The whole play is connected by one of the most crucial characters, that is, Mrs. March, this kind, strong and independent mother, the brilliance of motherhood has been brought out in her, if it is not a noble mother, the four daughters may grow up. Not those cute looks.
In the era of scarcity, she brought her daughter a hearty breakfast to the poorer and more populous neighbors; she exchanged tattered cloth for money to supplement some households; when her husband was injured, she immediately packed up to visit him; when Beth fell ill Shi and rushed home in time to treat the daughter who was abandoned by the doctor (this is yet to be studied). She has always acted as a strong support and backing at home, never complaining about her husband or life. When Amy was beaten by the teacher, she could decisively write a letter to express her dissatisfaction and ask her daughter to drop out of school to study at home; when Meg fell in love with a tutor, she did not obstruct it, but said that she would rather her daughter marry love and marry a poor person rather than them Marrying a wealthy and powerful family who does not love for the sake of life grievances, she never wanted to use her daughter's marriage as an exchange for family wealth; Jo encouraged her to look at the outside world when she was confused by rejecting a seemingly perfect proposal. what she really wanted. She treats her daughter with respect and love.
Such a mother, such a true, strong, happy mother, wife. Her presence, connecting the characters in the whole play, is so important but not so conspicuous.
