Bravery and Compromise: Joe and Amy

Joe is brave and talented, but Amy is the epitome of most women, and I'd say more women get or should have less than Amy.

Amy is willing to find a balance between society and herself, trying her best to find a way of compromise.

How many real marriages are perfect love in the end? Marriage is an economic union from beginning to end, and women are the weak link in the economy.

This also made me think about the current marriage in China. Men feel that the bride's dowry is a huge burden, and that the woman's family is selling their daughter. When men pay huge economic benefits to form a marriage, they will intensify their efforts to demand from women. return.

However, it is worth discussing that there are quite a few women who do not get the slightest financial benefits given by men, because these are used by the woman's family as a betrothal gift for the woman's younger brother to marry another woman.

How many women have actually benefited from this game between men and women's families? I'm afraid most women will only get results after they think about it.

Back to Amy

Amy always knew she would never marry a poor man, and while studying with her aunt in Europe, she saw things she would never have seen back home in England. She became sane and realistic, I don't know if that was lucky or unfortunate.

She saw Laurie again, the man she had told her as a child that he would kiss her before she died. The first time she saw Laurie she realized that he didn't seem to be what he used to be.

It's not that Amy doesn't want to marry someone she likes, but she's also waiting for the man who can propose to her first.

She hoped in her heart that it was Laurie, the responsible and kind Laurie she had seen in her youth. (And Laurie is financially capable) She doesn't love Mr. Fred, but if Laurie doesn't love her, Mr. Fred is the man she can depend on for life.

Although she likes Laurie, she still doesn't want to accept Laurie who still loves her sister Joe. So she talked about Joe and the German professor just before the kiss. She is very disappointed, she is willing to compromise, but not willing to settle, she cannot accept the man who still loves her sister to love her.

Likewise, she didn't want Laurie to settle for another girl from the Maqu family because she couldn't get Joe.

So, as she prepares to accept Fred, Laurie's call changes her mind. If she is destined to marry the rich, she wants to marry the one she loves.

So I have always felt that it is good for people to be brave, but when I have to find compromise and balance, I don't dare to feel ashamed.

If everyone can pursue what they want, why are there so many things they can't get?

After watching Little Women for the first time, you will admire the brave Joe and envy the pursuit of the beloved Meg.

I understand Amy the second time I watch Little Women.

In fact, I have never wanted to see a story in a family romance drama in which the relationship between sisters is broken up by a man. I think this is too ignorant of the relationship between sisters. I blindly apply the understanding of women to all settings. I am very fortunate. There's never been a scene like this in Little Women, and maybe that's what makes it so classic.

Little Women quotes

  • Josephine 'Jo' March: Doesn't he have a noble brow? If I were a boy I'd want to look just like that.

  • Jo March: I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country.

    Mr. Mayer: You should have been a lawyer, Miss March.

    Jo March: I should have been a great many things, Mr. Mayer.
