as a little girl whenever my parents, or anyone else for that matter, scolded me or talked to me rudely, i just escaped into my little daydream being delusional about how i was a timid, helpless and a sensitive girl with no one of her own. alone and desperate. but then one fine day. a boy shows up and he rescues her. haha this is giving me goosebumps. but yeah that has still been my coping mechanism. but i am tired of it now.
I think Jo never loved Laurie. They were friends, he loved her, she didn't. Jo always said she didn't want to be a wife but I think it's because she was scared and insecure about it. As she grows she starts to think no one will ever love her and she truly will never be a wife and then decides to write the letter to Laurie, cuz at least he loves her right? But she doesn't love him, not that way. She was just scared of being alone forever. Amy and Laurie are a lovely couple. I truly believe Laurie and Jo were platonic soulmates whereas Amy and Laurie are romantic soulmates When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear Teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her beliefs/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world.
