In defense of Little Women's Amy, the best March sister
Jo accepted it with a smile, for she had never outgrown her liking for lads, and soon found herself involved in the usual labyrinth of love, mystery, and murder, for the story belonged to that class of light literature in which the passions have a holiday, and when the author’s invention fails, a grand catastrophe clears the stage of one half the dramatis personae, leaving the other half to exult over their downfall.
“So it is!” cried Laurie, who was playing chess in a corner with Jo. “I knew a girl once, who had a really remarkable talent for music, and she didn’t know it, never guessed what sweet little things she composed when she was alone, and wouldn’t have believed it if anyone had told her.”Amy is performing her womanhood a little too well, a little flashily.
Amy uses distasteful girlishness to win her place in wealthier family members’ hearts, then parlays that love into a trip to Paris along with the art education she’s longed for and finally marriage to Laurie, which brings the financial security she craved as a child. While the only real villains inare the Civil War and the patriarchy, I came away hating Amy as if she had set my own manuscript on fire.
