I'm sure everyone knows by now that I'm a Jo and Laurie fan, but even I agree that the boat scene was romantic...the chapter where Laurie comes for her after Beth dies, was so sweet...
The only thing I might disagree with is the description of Amy is gentle...lol. I do think she's more feminine perhaps, and she probably does become gentle after marriage. But before, she's quite as sharp and spirited as Jo. Loved her chewing Laurie out in Europe in Lazy Lawrence!
I tend to think of Amy as steel wrapped in silk -- very strong and sharp, but also so impeccably graceful that it's easy to miss the fact that she *can* wound, if she has to. Gentle could apply, but "gentle" would mean a completely different thing referring to Amy than it would when referring to a character like Beth.
yes, I tend to see Meg and Beth as the more gentle sisters, and Jo and Amy as more spirited and strong...I can see Amy as more gentle than Jo in the way you mean though that she is more refined and graceful and patient...
