So Louisa May Alcott vicariously describes the story behind the publication of the book that made her a celebrity overnight with an instant success most authors never dare to dream of. Alcott never intended, however, for Little Women to be her magnum opus; she only needed a little money. Isn't irony wonderful? The novel was published in two volumes in 1868-1869.note The "first book" described above is Moods, an intensely (now nearly unreadably) moral melodrama for adults that Alcott considered her real masterpiece; it attracted some favourable reviews but never a wide audience, despite the author revising it several times even after initial publication.Little Women is the story of four sisters, modeled after Alcott and her own, whose once-prosperous New England family has fallen into genteel poverty. Now all young teenagers, the book chronicles their various small attempts to cope with their newly-reduced status, get along with each other, and just generally grow up while their father is away during The American Civil War. The March sisters are: Meg (short for Margaret), the brunette beauty of the family and the responsible first-born who tries to set a good example for her sisters, make Jo behave more like a lady and Amy less like one, and look less poor than she is in front of her rich friends, the Moffat family. Good-hearted and motherly, but also constantly fights against vanity, self-indulgence and discontent, especially given she's the sister who can most clearly remember the family's prosperous past. Jo (a Tomboyish Name for Josephine): Alcott's Author Avatar and, by 19th-century standards, a tomboy—i.e., she likes to stand with her hands in her pockets, whistle, and exclaim "Christopher Columbus!". Jo generally tends to occupy the opposite end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism from her sisters, being plain faced, bold, ambitious, blunt, terribly unladylike, and the unofficial protagonist. Like Alcott, she is a devoted writer. She grows out of her immature, occasionally Big Sister Bully ways with Amy and becomes more maternal and in control of her temper, particularly after she starts her career in New York. Beth (short for Elizabeth): Shy, quiet, tranquil and gentle, practically perfect in every way except for her utter timidity around everyone and everything but her family. Jo's closest confidante along with Meg, as her real-life counterpart Lizzie was to Alcott (the one counterpart, in fact, whose name wasn't changed). Like the real Beth, she becomes ill with scarlet fever and remains fragile and weak long after recovery. Amy: The yellow-haired, graceful, vain but essentially good-hearted youngest child who grows from a Spoiled Brat into a Naïve Everygirl, and very pointedly Jo's opposite. Her talent—which, she famously laments, isn't exactly genius-level—lies in the visual arts.Their closest friend is their wealthy old neighbor's newly-arrived grandson: handsome, mischievous, half-Italian Theodore "Laurie" Laurence. He quickly befriends Jo, and the others soon after. Women in town wonder to which sister their mother is planning to marry him off, but in fact they are all Just Friends, Like Brother And Sisters—which becomes a significant plot point later.Other characters include: their strong-willed mother Margaret, whom they call "Marmee" (in the 19th-century New England accent, "Marmee" would be pronounced "Mommy"); their father, a gentleman reverend ruined financially through helping a friend (an idealized version of Louisa's father, prominent Transcendentalist Bronson Alcott); their maid and friend, Hannah; Laurie's tutor, John Brooke, who falls in love with Meg; and their nightmare of a meddling relative, Aunt March, for whom Jo and later Amy work as a companion. The book is fraught with Shout Outs and Homages to Pilgrim's Progress and Anvilicious Aesops at a time before that was considered cliche.Adaptations:The book has been adapted to film several times. Two silent versions in 1917 (UK) and 1918 (US). Two sound films in 1933 and 1949. A made-for-TV version in 1978, starring Susan Dey as Jo, Meredith Baxter as Meg, Greer Garson as Aunt March, and William Shatner as Professor Bhaer. A feature film adaptation in 1994, featuring Winona Ryder as Jo, Gabriel Byrne as Bhaer, Claire Danes as Beth, Christian Bale as Laurie, and Susan Sarandon as Marmee. A modern-day adaptation in 2018, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the book. Lea Thompson plays Marmee, Sarah Davenport plays Jo, Allie Jennings plays Beth, Melanie Stone plays Meg, Taylor Murphy plays Amy, Lucas Grabeel plays Laurie, and Bart Johnson plays Mr. March. A film adaptation in 2019, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Emma Watson as Meg, Saoirse Ronan as Jo, Florence Pugh as Amy, Eliza Scanlen as Beth, Laura Dern as Marmee, Timothée Chalamet as Laurie, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.It has also spent time in other media: Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari is a 1987 animated series adapting the novel. Geronimo Stilton (The Classic Tales Series) had an issue which adapted the novel using the illustrated mouse characters. A miniseries adaptation was produced for the BBC in 2017, penned by acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Heidi Thomas. It starred Emily Watson as Marmee, Maya Hawke as Jo, Willa Fitzgerald as Meg, Kathryn Newton as Amy, Annes Elwy as Beth, and Jonah Hauer-King as Laurie. Four anime works (three TV series, including one called Jo's Boys but actually based on Little Men, and a TV special). A musical and an opera. A professional fanfic — Geraldine Brooks' March, telling the story of Mr. March, the mostly-absent father from Little Women — won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Pemberley Digital, the YouTube company behind The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, adapted this story into The March Family Letters, video-diary entries which are being sent to Marmee while she's away for a year. A modern graphic-novel retelling, called Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, was released in February 2019, that relocates the family to modern-day Brooklyn written by author Rey Terciero and illustrator Bre Indigo. Little Witches: Magic in Concord — A graphic novel published by Oni Press in October, 2020 that casts the main characters as witches. Jo: A Graphic Novel — A graphic novel adaptation set in the modern day. Marmee (2022), a retelling from Mrs. March's perspective and secrets of her own. My Little Pony Classics Reimagined: Little Fillies (2022-2023) — A four-issue comic series retelling the story with the cast of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.Also, despite sharing the same names for the protagonists, this one has absolutely nothing to do with Burst Angel.Note: Little Men and Jo's Boys tropes are NOT LISTED HERE. They can be found and added to this page.

Age Lift: The 1949 film version portrays Amy as a teenager, with Beth being a child several years younger than the other three.note This is because they loved Margaret O'Brien and made Beth the youngest just to accommodate her, since the role of Amy wouldn't have suited her nearly as well.

Love Potion: The sisters perform a play with a villain who purchases a love potion from a witch, along with poison to kill his romantic rival (probably to avoid that "power of true love" loophole). The witch, however, double-crosses him, stops the princess from drinking the potion, and slips the villain his own poison.

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry
 Little Women / int_1a09b4f9
comment
The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Amy and Jo are often shown to be at loggerheads, both being of stubborn and fiery temperaments and often holding wildly different views on social norms and issues. They mellow out as they get older, with Beth's death bringing them closer together. Averted with Jo and Meg, who are actually very close despite how different they are. The closest to "fights" that they have consist of Meg telling Jo off for Saying Too Much or things like that. Jo even shows jealousy of Meg's boyfriend and later husband John Brooke. Not out of malice, but because she's scared of losing Meg's emotional support. Also averted with Meg and Amy, the latter being Meg's "pet," although she does sometimes tell her off too, and even further averted with Beth, who adores and is adored by all her sisters, especially Jo.

Sadist Teacher
 Little Women / int_2a6a8e89
comment
Sadist Teacher: Mr. Davis, Amy's schoolteacher, is a borderline example that probably closer to a Stern Teacher. He does whip Amy's hands, a common punishment at the time and have Amy stand in front of the class until recess (15 minutes), but the narration states the swats "weren't many or hard", as well as stating that if Amy had not acted so prideful, Mr. Davis would have let her off with a warning since she is one of his favorite students, and when Jo was sent to get Amy's things, he feels completely awful about the whole ordeal. His punishment varies depending on the adaptation, the 1933 and 1949 films have him make Amy stand on a platform with a slate reading "I am ashamed of myself," (for drawing on her slate during class instead of bringing pickled limes to school) while other adaptations (including both anime series) have him whip her hands. He is about to whip her in the 1949 version, but has a change of heart and dismissed her right before he could. The 1978 miniseries has him actually whip her hands for drawing boarders on her slate, and made her stand in front of the class for at least several hours. In the 1994 film, not only is he a terrible teacher (if Jo's concerns about Amy's poor schoolwork is anything to go by), but also Amy says he believes that educating girls as is useless as bathing a cat. The 2017 miniseries plays the trope straightest (that we see), since he unnecessarily pulls Amy up by her hair before he whips her hands hard enough they bleed, as well as feeling no guilt whatsoever until Jo gets Amy's things and scares him. The 2019 film has Amy struck on the hand hard enough to make it bleed, after she drew a (actually rather nice) picture of Mr. Davis on her slate instead of paying attention.

Break the Haughty
 Little Women / int_2af6bbeb

Break the Haughty: Amy's particular besetting sin is vanity, and thus it gets several small tweaks throughout — most notably when she tries to be In with the In Crowd at school by bringing in forbidden pickled limes, is caught and gets humiliated by her Stern Teacher. Meg gets a similar gentle smackdown while trying to play 'fine lady' at the Moffats'.

Tomboy and Girly Girl
 Little Women / int_2d364c81
comment
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Jo (Tomboy) and Amy (Girly Girl). Jo is a headstrong Spirited Young Lady with a fiery temper who rejects female values and convention and finds sentimentality utterly repellent (except in books). Amy is a vain, artistic beauty, obsessed with her appearance, who aspires to be the perfect Proper Lady and marry a rich man. They are quite similar though; both are strong-minded, assertive and ambitious women which was not the feminine ideal at the time. Meg and Beth are much more classic Girly Girls, and this contrast between Jo and Beth is even noted in the book.

Amy gives one to Laurie in Nice for how he's handling his heartbreak over being rejected by Jo. He eventually agrees with Amy's belief that he has changed for the worse by becoming Idle Rich. Although it comes from a place of love, Amy gives him a fairly brutal lecture about being lazy, overspending, smoking and not doing anything useful with himself.

Secret Message Wink: Discussed when Meg and Jo are attending a fancy party. Jo is concerned about her ability to maintain proper decorum, which is very important to Meg, so she suggests that if Meg spots her doing anything wrong, "just remind me by a wink, will you?" Meg immediately vetoes the idea because "winking isn't ladylike," and they work out a different code instead.

Broken Aesop
 Little Women / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: Amy dumps Fred Vaughn, deciding it's wrong to marry someone you don't love for their money, only to turn around and fall in love with her wealthy childhood friend Laurie. This is probably more of an author fumble. It's supposed to be taken for granted that Amy is the perfect girl for Laurie (Jo even says he needs a refined girl in her "Like Brother and Sister" speech), and they actually do fall in love over time. Still, the fact that Amy gets true love AND a rich man doesn't help. Laurie himself teases her about this, to Amy's utter mortification, and she hustles to assure him that she'd never, ever, ever marry him unless she loved him.

Flower Motifs: While Laurie and Amy are taking a walk through a rose garden, Laurie gets pricked by a red rose he tried to pick while thinking of Jo, whom he last saw when she turned down his marriage proposal. Amy then gives him a thorn-free white rose. Laurie instantly thinks of the color symbolism - red roses are for romance, white roses are for funerals, and he wonders if this is either a sign about his changing feelings for the two sisters or an omen of death. He chides himself for being so superstitious and laughs it off, but since eventually he and Amy fall in love and Beth dies, it doesn't sound so funny.

Killed Offscreen
 Little Women / int_423f5a19
comment
Killed Offscreen: Most of the screen adaptations avoid actually showing Beth's death, as does the Broadway musical. Of the best-known versions, only the 1933 and 1994 films, the 1998 opera, and the 2017 miniseries give her an onscreen/onstage death scene, and even then, the two movies don't show the actual moment onscreen, but cut away to another image until afterwards. Meanwhile, the 1949 film, the 1978 miniseries, and the Broadway musical just follow Beth's talk with Jo about her fate by skipping ahead several months to a short time after her death, while the 2019 film has Jo wake up in the morning to find that Beth died during the night.

Averted with Jo and Meg, who are actually very close despite how different they are. The closest to "fights" that they have consist of Meg telling Jo off for Saying Too Much or things like that. Jo even shows jealousy of Meg's boyfriend and later husband John Brooke. Not out of malice, but because she's scared of losing Meg's emotional support. Also averted with Meg and Amy, the latter being Meg's "pet," although she does sometimes tell her off too, and even further averted with Beth, who adores and is adored by all her sisters, especially Jo.

Peaceful in Death: In Part I, when all traces of pain and fever fade from the sick Beth's face as she sleeps, Jo momentarily thinks it's this trope, but it turns out that actually, her fever has broken and she's beginning to get well. For the time being, anyway. Played straight in Part II, when Beth is Killed Off for Real. Her face is so serene in death that her family can't help but smile through their tears and thank God that she's "well at last."

Disproportionate Retribution
 Little Women / int_50b05d30
comment
The 2019 version changes the reason for the punishment to Amy drawing a caricature of her teacher. While it keeps the Disproportionate Retribution effect intact, it makes it clearer to modern audiences to see how a teacher might see that as a punishable infraction while still being able to sympathize with Marmee pulling Amy out of school, and also foreshadowing Amy's artistic talents.

Adaptational Attractiveness
 Little Women / int_557838d1
comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: Save for Meg who is always described as being the prettiest of the March girls (and very pretty generally) and the adult Amy who grows to be "attractive and pleasing to the face" though not beautiful, the book makes no attempt to hide the very ordinary looks of some of its protagonists (especially Jo and Professor Bhaer), which obviously isn't going to work onscreen. In the 1994 film, Professor Bhaer, who is described in the novel as overweight and rather grizzled, is played by Gabriel Byrne. In the 1949 version, he's played by the handsome and dashing Italian actor Rossano Brazzi, who was only 32 at the time. The very handsome Ian Bohen plays him in the 2018 adaptation. Louis Garrel, from the 2019 version, is one of the most attractive actors to portray Friedrich in live-action. Likewise Jo, who in the book is described as "tall and brown, with big hands and feet and a flyway look to her" is played by petite, fair-skinned June Allyson in the 1949 film and Winona Ryder in the 1994 film. Katharine Hepburn probably comes closest to averting this; while Hepburn was certainly striking, in the film she is all coltish limbs and angular face, definitely not a classic beauty like Allyson or Ryder. Saoirse Ronan in the 2019 version is also fair-skinned and pretty, although with her stronger, more angular features, she does stand out as less of a classic beauty than her sisters, much like Hepburn did in 1933. Marmee is described as "greying and not particularly handsome". She's been played by Susan Sarandon and Mary Astor in notable adaptations. Spring Byington in the 1933 version is closer to the book. To a lesser extent, Meg, the novel does describe her as very pretty and the beauty of the family but also as "plump" (though considering the time-period of the book, this doesn't mean "fat" or "overweight" but rather shapely and womanly), which doesn't describe the figures of the actresses that portrayed her.

Uncle Pennybags: Aunt March is not, and the narration snarkily points this out, when talking about how someone (not to hint Aunt March) should do something to help Beth's study of music. Old Mr. Laurence, on the other hand, sends over flowers and ice cream for the girls when he hears about how they gave away their Christmas breakfast to the Hummels, and Beth saw him respond to a woman asking a fishmonger to let her work in exchange for fish (and being denied) by grabbing the nearest fish and buying it for her.

Distracted from Death: A few adaptations handle Beth's death this way. In the 1994 film, Jo gets up from Beth's deathbed when the wind opens some shutters. When she returns to the bedside, Beth has died. In the 2019 film, Jo wakes up to find Beth's bed empty, her body having already been removed. In Mark Adamo's 1998 opera, Beth falls asleep after her last conversation with Jo, and then Jo dozes off too. When she wakes up, she finds that Beth has died in her sleep.

 Little Women / int_619bc34b

High-Class Gloves: Meg and Jo are invited to a New Year's party. Meg is aghast that Jo has ruined her white gloves with lemonade, and thus can't dance. Buying new gloves isn't an option with the March family's current state of near-poverty, so Jo's only solution is for each girl to wear one of Meg's nice gloves and carry one of the bad gloves in their other hand so nobody can see that its ruined. Meg isn't enthusiastic (Jo's larger hands will ruin her nice glove), but has no alternative. Ironically Jo doesn't even dance with anyone except Laurie, and they did that out in the hall where nobody would've noticed her lack of gloves.

Replacement Goldfish: Beth is this, to an extent, for Laurie's grandfather - as it happens, she has a personality very similar to that of his deceased granddaughter, whom he adored. The 1980 anime adaptation takes it a bit too literally and has Beth look exactly like the granddaughter, which freaks them both out.

Friend to All Children: Professor Bhaer. He happily plays with not only his own nephews, but Mrs. Kirke's daughters and Tina, the daughter of the boardinghouse's maid. When he comes to court Jo, he gets on famously with Daisy and Demi, and the narration slyly notes that men often are seized with sudden and inexplicable admiration for the young relatives of the women they wished to marry— but no, he actually just really loves kids and has a great talent for sympathizing with them and not trivializing them, which is part of what makes him such an excellent teacher. That he goes on to not only open a boarding school for boys, in addition to raising his two nephews and two sons of his own, says it all.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Amy gives one to Laurie in Nice for how he's handling his heartbreak over being rejected by Jo. He eventually agrees with Amy's belief that he has changed for the worse by becoming Idle Rich. Although it comes from a place of love, Amy gives him a fairly brutal lecture about being lazy, overspending, smoking and not doing anything useful with himself. Marmee gives a very loving, very gentle one when Jo complains about Amy getting chosen by Aunt March to tour Europe with Aunt Carrol and Florence. She kindly points out that Jo was very rude during her and Amy's visit with their aunts, according to a note from Aunt March, claiming that "favors burdened her" and that she hated French, so it's hardly surprising that Aunt Carrol would prefer to take a much more well behaved Amy.

Embarrassing First Name: Laurie is not too fond of being a Theodore because he objects to the schoolboy nickname Dora; he insists upon being called Laurie... a feminine name to modern readers. This is referenced in an episode of Friends where Joey reads the book. He first assumes that Laurie is a girl, and that Jo must be a boy. Lampshaded as well in the 1994 movie when Jo mentions Laurie to Professor Bhaer... and he thinks she's talking about one of her sisters.

Underdressed for the Occasion: Meg doesn't have a silk ball dress to wear when visiting Sallie Moffat, so she wears an old tarlatan instead. She actually makes a better impression in her simple and worn out clothing than she does when her friends dress her in borrowed splendor.

 Little Women / int_90e31482

Laser-Guided Karma: The whole debacle of "Jo Meets Apollyon" happens because Amy wants to go on an outing and Jo tells her no, while promising to take her another time. Amy the next day calls Jo a "crosspatch" for not taking her skating, even though Jo went to cool her temper about Amy burning her book, and the younger sister happily tags along when Meg suggests using the opportunity to make amends. After Amy falls through the ice, due to Jo not warning her in a fit of spite, she'll probably have to spend the next few days in bed, which means she won't be going on outings for a while.

Foreshadowing: When introducing Beth, the narrator makes a remark about how her type of quiet kindness and cheerfulness is never fully appreciated until it is gone forever; the tone is such that there might as well be an arrow pointing to Beth with "DOOMED" written on it in letters of fire. There's also a moment several chapters before she gets sick where Beth says, about heaven, "It seems so long to wait, so hard to do. I want to fly away at once, as those swallows fly, and go in at that splendid gate." Little does she know that the wait is not as long as it should be.

comment
Mood Whiplash: The heartbreaking chapter describing Beth's death is immediately followed by several humorous paragraphs describing Laurie's efforts to improve his life in Europe after being lectured by Amy, yet never crediting her because his sense of manly dignity won't allow it. This tone shift isn't a bad thing, as it helps to maintain the book's Slice of Life balance between lightheartedness and drama.

Only Known by Their Nickname
 Little Women / int_a7850fbf
comment
Only Known by Their Nickname: Three of the four March sisters are routinely identified by shortened forms of their lengthy first names. Although the real names are given in the introductory chapter, they are rarely otherwise used in the novel and readers grow quite used to thinking of them as Meg, Jo, and Beth. (This creates a bit of confusion for some readers when Jo occasionally uses alternative nicknames for her sisters, like "Peggy" for Meg and "Betty" for Beth, both being common, old-fashioned nicknames for "Margaret" and "Elizabeth.") Also Marmee, whose real name is never actually stated; it's understood that her name is Margaret (and Meg, and later Daisy, are named after her), but no character ever addresses her by her name. In the 1994 film adaptation, her name is changed to 'Abigail', the name of Alcott's real-life mother (albeit Abigail Alcott was most often known as 'Abba'). The same applies to Mr. March: we don't find out his real name until the final chapter introduces Jo's elder son, Rob, who is named after him. Who is himself usually called "Rob," "Robby," or "Robin," while Teddy, like his mother, occasionally mixes it up, calling him "Bob" or "Bobby."

I Should Write a Book About This
 Little Women / int_a8cbf649
comment
I Should Write a Book About This: It's popular in film adaptations to have Jo finally achieve literary success when she writes a book about her sisters. In the novel, Jo writes a well-received short story after Beth's death which is wildly successful, but it's never stated what the story is about. She does write a book about her sisters in Jo's Boys, though, and even though she only wrote it for money, it's a massive success.

Straw Misogynist
 Little Women / int_abc28948
comment
His punishment varies depending on the adaptation, the 1933 and 1949 films have him make Amy stand on a platform with a slate reading "I am ashamed of myself," (for drawing on her slate during class instead of bringing pickled limes to school) while other adaptations (including both anime series) have him whip her hands. He is about to whip her in the 1949 version, but has a change of heart and dismissed her right before he could. The 1978 miniseries has him actually whip her hands for drawing boarders on her slate, and made her stand in front of the class for at least several hours. In the 1994 film, not only is he a terrible teacher (if Jo's concerns about Amy's poor schoolwork is anything to go by), but also Amy says he believes that educating girls as is useless as bathing a cat. The 2017 miniseries plays the trope straightest (that we see), since he unnecessarily pulls Amy up by her hair before he whips her hands hard enough they bleed, as well as feeling no guilt whatsoever until Jo gets Amy's things and scares him. The 2019 film has Amy struck on the hand hard enough to make it bleed, after she drew a (actually rather nice) picture of Mr. Davis on her slate instead of paying attention.

Be Careful What You Wish For
 Little Women / int_b06bbf4b
comment
Be Careful What You Wish For: The old "a week of all play and no work" experiment takes up a chapter of Little Women. The March sisters decide to take the entire week off without doing any chores at all, but they eventually realize that a whole week of doing nothing can get extremely boring, along with the fact that even the most basic household chores need to be done when you're on vacation. In "Jo Meeets Apollyon," Amy causes all of the trouble by burning Jo's book after Jo refuses to let her go on an outing with the older siblings and adults. This means everyone is angry at Amy, who at first is only apologetic because she feels "unloved". The next day, she whines that "crosspatch" Jo isn't taking her skating for the last ice, and Meg gives her permission to go for an opportunity for Jo to forgive her little sister. This "suited" Amy fine, and she goes, only to fall through a rotten patch of ice due to Jo not warning her. Then it means no more outings for Amy for a while as she needs her bedrest.

Felony Misdemeanor: To the contemporary audience: Amy's teacher hits her for bringing in pickled limes. This was considered perfectly reasonable at the time, but Marmee doesn't approve of it and pulls her out of school in response. The 2019 version changes the reason for the punishment to Amy drawing a caricature of her teacher. While it keeps the Disproportionate Retribution effect intact, it makes it clearer to modern audiences to see how a teacher might see that as a punishable infraction while still being able to sympathize with Marmee pulling Amy out of school, and also foreshadowing Amy's artistic talents.

Averted with Aunt March, to the point that it's Lampshaded: "Some old people keep young at heart in spite of wrinkles and grey hair, can sympathize with children's little cares and joys, make them feel at home, and can hide wise lessons under pleasant plays, giving and receiving friendship in the sweetest way. But Aunt March had not this gift."

Forbidden Fruit: Meg is poised and ready to reject John Brooke's marriage proposal out of fear, until Aunt March shows up and, unaware of her decision, orders her not to accept him. A literal example are the pickled limes Amy brings to school despite being forbidden to do so by the stern teacher Mr. Davis.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Little Women / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: The whole family calls out Amy for burning Jo's manuscript, since it was Jo's only copy; even Meg is hurt on Jo's behalf. Once Amy starts to realize that what she did was Disproportionate Retribution, she tries to apologize but Jo is still fuming and refuses to forgive her sister. Jo then receives criticism in turn for not forgiving Amy in due course. Jo gives herself one when she slyly neglects to warn Amy of rotten ice while they skate, which nearly kills her as a result, purely out of selfish rage.

Unusual Euphemism: Jo's favorite exclamation of "Christopher Columbus!" counts as this, since it's generally understood to be her version of swearing. In the musical, Aunt March interrupts Bhaer's marriage proposal and he says it.

Makeup Is Evil
 Little Women / int_e07342ac
comment
Makeup Is Evil: Meg penitently confesses to having worn makeup among other sins at a party, and her mother says that she was wrong to let Meg stay with these people without knowing them better. However, it's less the makeup itself and more the general vanity and shallowness of the people she's with, and the fact that she was attempting to act like someone she's not.

One-Steve Limit: Inverted. Almost every main character is related to someone else with the same name; but they all have different nicknames. Elizabeth March = Beth. Elizabeth Laurence = Bess. John Brooke = John. John Brooke Jr. = Demi (short for "Demijohn") Josephine March I = Aunt March. Josephine March = Jo. Josephine Brooke = Josie. Margaret Curtis March = Marmee. Margaret March = Meg. Margaret Brooke = Daisy Robert March = Father/Papa/Mr. March. Robert Bhaer = Rob Theodore Laurence = Laurie (Jo calls him Teddy). Theodore Bhaer = Teddy or Ted. Also, two unrelated German characters are named Minna: one of the little Hummel girls, who dies of scarlet fever, and Professor Bhaer's deceased sister, the mother of his two nephews.

In the 1994 film, Professor Bhaer, who is described in the novel as overweight and rather grizzled, is played by Gabriel Byrne. In the 1949 version, he's played by the handsome and dashing Italian actor Rossano Brazzi, who was only 32 at the time. The very handsome Ian Bohen plays him in the 2018 adaptation. Louis Garrel, from the 2019 version, is one of the most attractive actors to portray Friedrich in live-action.

Easily Forgiven: Subverted. This is how every good person should be in this time period, but Jo cannot forgive Amy for burning her manuscript. She only forgives Amy when the latter nearly dies from drowning in a pond, and when her temper led to her not warning Amy of the danger.

comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While the Moffats aren't evil, per se, they are shallow, vain, and materialistic, and assume that Marmee is being kind to Laurie in the hopes that he will one day marry one of her daughters and thereby gain access to his fortune. Meg's friend Sallie, who married Ned Moffat, loves visiting Meg's house, even though it's tiny and unfashionable, and she has no idea why she enjoys it so much. The narrator hints that it's because Meg's and John's marriage is warmer than Sallie's, and so too is their home and family life, especially with their children.
