Characters
Jo
Contrast from the start - she is less nervous and more confident now in herself and her abilities. Negotiates with Mr. Dashwood - not being a pushover
Beth encouraged her (day on the beach) - life is too short to be scared / self-concious / doubtful of oneself
-
-
Innovative - she is a step ahead of everyone - her setting up the mixed educational school, she wants to own her own book, realistic and personal novel about women
Amy
-
Teaching art at the school, married to Laurie, has a child - she feels fulfilled finally or has a purpose - achieved all her dreams
-
She follows societal expectations but is this a negative outcome? - she loves Laurie (which we have seen from the start) and he happens to be wealthy also
Laurie
-
-
-
Positive affect on Jo? - she is happy when she is around him but has he misunderstood their friendship?
-
He persuades Amy more easily than Jo - Jo is headstrong and is able to overpower him while Amy is a bit more submissive. Did Laurie take advantage of Amy following Beth's death? She was vulnerable and emotional
Caring - brought the Dad home, he does love the girls, wanted Meg to be herself, he took Amy in after she hurt herself
By the end he seems a bit more sad / sombre as he has grown up and realised he has responsibilities . He has a sense of purpose / role now as opposed to when Amy was begging him to do something
Meg
-
-
-
-
Amy and Meg encouraged Jo to chase Fredreich and they both realised she loved him - meg knows Jo very well
Theme
Relationships
-
-
Friedreich and Jo - he pursues her while Jo is oblivious to the fact he loves her and possibly that she love him - based on love
-
Gender equality
Opening of the mixed school - very progressive and ahead of her time. Education - opening of women's universities - Jo wants equal opportunities for both boys and girls
-
The men emulate a positive image of male society however, Mr. Dashwood highlights the oppressive nature that men can hold in society
