Thoughts of Little Women

Weston 2022-10-07 23:03:44

The book "Little Women" was written by American writer Louisa May Alcott and was published in 1868. I also watched the 1994 version of the movie, preferring the 1933 version. I was a little surprised by the 1933 era and the good film quality, so I checked the writer's writing year. Independent women in 1868. From this point of view, seeking innovation, breaking tradition, and breaking the shackles are the themes of every era. Some recent thoughts. What is the current culture? For example, if a boy pursues a girl, he will send a bouquet of roses instead of daffodils, because the current culture makes us know that. But natural people, savages, some children, they prefer daffodils. What is the current position? It is to bring oneself into it, to materialize oneself and others. If you don't develop your own personality, your position will change. People are born with the ability to solve problems. The simpler the happier. It is not a machine built with culture, knowledge, and standpoints, and the soul will be bright and flexible. Joe finally stayed with the professor. Love turned out to be mutual tolerance and company. It's not a condition, it's not material, it's not a knight princess, it's not courage, cowardice, and all idealistic ideas and definitions that cater to fashion.

Little Women quotes

  • [last lines]

    Prof. Bhaer: Oh, please, please... just, just one moment, before... I have a wish to ask you something. Would you... Oh, I-I... I have no courage to think that... but, but, but, could I dare hope that... I? I... I know I, I shouldn't make so free as to ask. I have nothing to give, but my heart so full and... and these empty hands.

    Jo March: [taking his hands in hers] Not empty now.

    Prof. Bhaer: Oh, heart's dearest!

    [they embrace]

    Jo March: [drawing him into the house] Welcome home!

  • Amy March: I'm sure neither of you suffer as I do. You don't have to go to that nasty old Davis' school with impertinent girls who laugh at your dresses and label your father 'cause he isn't rich.

    Jo March: Libel, libel! Don't say "label" as if Papa were a pickle bottle.

    Amy March: I know what I mean. And you needn't be statirical about it.

    [Jo suppresses a laugh at Amy's mispronunciation]

    Amy March: It's proper to use good words and improve your vocabillary.
