Yes, Mr. Laurence, but I’m not Miss March, I’m only Jo.

I’d hate elegant society; you’d hate my scribbling. We would be unhappy, and we’d wish we hadn’t done it, and everything would be horrid.          LITTLE WOMEN (2019) DIR. GRETA GERWIG

Jo and Teddy

You know what I still can't come to terms with? The way Jo and Laurie, her Teddy, don't end up together. Like, I know all about Jo's freedom and independence and her will to live and see the world through her eyes, - plus the feminist anthem "Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for", which I adore whole heartedly and live by - but I still can't wrap my head around it.

Their friendship was so pure, they were everything to each other. Laurie was a mess, but when he met her, he started acting like a decent human being. When she sent him off, he just gave up and began with the reckless behaviours again. When she was feeling down, she went to him. When her head was confused, she went to him. And ever did he question her passion for writting and her dreams.

What doesn't make even more sense to me is Amy with Laurie. She clearly tells him she is not going to be the Jo he didn't have, she wasn't fit for second place - AS SHE SHOULD - and then, ding dong make me your wife. Amy always looked up for approval, always aspired to be as her sisters. She should have made her own path and not transform herself into what she first said she would not be.

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FRIEDRICH THING. You can clearly understand that Laurie is not okay with that. AND HE IS MARRIED. He still has feelings for Jo, and he will always have. And the way Jo gives it all up for the happiness of her little sister, it just kills me.

Little Women makes a complete mess out of my emotions and my head. Feel free to interact with this post and help me make peace with this, because it has been 5 years since I read the books, and like 2 since I saw both movies, and I'm still getting random insomnia at 4AM just thinking of these bloody fictional characters and their bloody fictional life.

“I’ve loved you ever since I’ve known you, Jo, couldn’t help it, you’ve been so good to me. I’ve tried to show it, but you wouldn’t let me. Now I’m going to make you hear, and give me an answer, for I can’t go on so any longer.”
