Writer's Block: Little Women
Perhaps I'm merely following the lead of Louisa May Alcott, but my loyalties lie with the main protagonist, Jo. Jo is creative, adventurous, and cares deeply about those around her. She knows her faults and tries to improve them in a way that seems much healthier than than the attitude we have about our imperfections these days. Of course, I have to consider the fact that I've never forgiven Amy for setting Jo's manuscript on fire. Never ever. In fact, I still have an initial twinge of dislike when I see Kirsten Dunst in pictures or movies, just because she played the young Amy in the film version of Little Women.
Who knows, maybe I would have been an Amy fan if she had been the main character.
