"I'm not a poet, I'm just a woman."
Someone said that it means "I'm not Jo" as if showing that she's reminding Laurie she's not Jo like the show was about romance, Amy meant that women doesn't have the same priviledge as men to dream, and to hope for great romances like in poems or stories, it shows that Laurie and most men are out of touch when it comes to women's future and marriage. Laurie's making Amy feel bad about marrying someone for money, and for someone who's a rich man, he was not aware of his priviledge of being free to be poetic, men can dream but women can only be anxious (atleast in their time) that's why she said "I'm just a woman". It's so funny and sad at the same time that the book/film is about how it's like being a woman and girls growing up but most people talked about is the doomed 'romance' between Laurie and Jo, and that Amy was a second choice and that he settled on her, they're making the story focused on a man (Laurie) when it's supposed to be about the four sisters, acting like he's all that. And I think the author made the 'romance' between Jo and Laurie was because, in the beginning of the book, Jo shared her disliked about men confessing their love to a woman and then being so persistent about it, like the woman owed them anything, and then Laurie did exactly the same "It's no use" and guilt tripping her that he will die if she doesn't love him back. Laurie was just there, he was just a man. But it's sad that most women who read and watched Little Women made everything about him.
