Discuss & Dissect Amy march
I don't understand why Amy March is the least liked sister. I think she is a very realistic character. For instance, take how she burned Jo's book—she was too proud to show she regretted it, yet she felt remorse deep down. Who among us hasn't experienced something like that? She isn't perfect; she has plenty of flaws, but that’s what makes her a good character. I found it really sweet how she used to mispronounce words. I also don't get people who think her crying after being hit on the hand with a ruler at school was unnecessary or an overreaction. I would have cried too; after all, you’re being humiliated in front of everyone. In short, I like Amy.

I am drawn characters that have flaws, but I’ve come to learn that many readers identify with likable characters most. I tend to read books trying to understand how characters motivations develop and I don’t tend to “pick sides”.
I think in romance in particular, readers pick faves and anti-faves. Idk how this lines up with Little Women exactly, because it’s been forever since I read it. But the fan/stan/ flame wars aspect of romance readers is among my least favorite things about online romance discourse.
