【正文】 has a hospital for six dolls, all of them invalids, passed down by her sisters. Docile and shy, she prefers to be home schooled and avoids most public situations. Beth has her troubles as well as the others, and not being an angel but a very human little girl, She loves music so dearly and extremely, and tries so hard to learn, and practices so patiently at the jingling old instrument. She adores playing the piano and singing, and the only material thing that she wants is a nicer piano, since her family’s is old and out of tune. The piano that she longs for is provided by her wealthy neighbor, old Mr. Laurence, who gives her his dead granddaughter’s old piano. When she is alone, she often sings songs about her work, and encourages herself to look forward to the future. She says that I know I39。ll get my music some time, if I’m good. All the little duties are faithfully done each day. When her heart gets heavy with longings for Mother or fears for Father, she goes away into a certain closet, hides her face in the folds of a dear old gown, and makes her little moan and prays her little prayer quietly by herself. Nobody knows what cheers her up after a sober fit, but everyone feels how sweet and helpful Beth is, and fell into a way of going to her for fort or advice in their small affairs. Amy’s Helpfulness and Strong SelfesteemAmy, though the youngest, is a most important person, in her own opinion at least. With blue eyes, and yellow hair curling on her shoulders, pale and slender, she always carries herself like a young lady mindful of her manners. Her little airs and graces are much admired, so were her acplishments, for besides her drawing, she can play twelve tunes, crochet, and read French without mispronouncing more than twothirds of the words. Her greatest happiness is painting creative arts. She is also very kind and she regards supporting the poor people as her own faith. She is described by the author as a “regular snowmaiden”. Amy cares about her appearance and position in childhood very much. Jo has accidentally dropped her in the coal scuttle, so that her nose has bee a bit flat. She has been troubled for that matter. Thus, she is dissatisfied with the shape of her nose and she insists that it is Jo’s fault for Jo once dropped her into the coal hod. When Beth is ill with scarlet fever, Amy is sent to stay with Aunt March as a safety precaution. Aunt March grows fond of her, as Amy’s natural grace and docility are more to her taste. Although she enjoys travel, after seeing the works of artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael, Amy gives up her art, because she believes herself to be lacking in talent. Amy encounters sad Laurie and persuades him in her traveling to Europe. He decides to recourage the pursuit of true love. Then Lawrence fells in love with Amy— the fine lady, elegant and exquisite. And they marry in a short time after Beth dies. Not only Amy finds true love but also marries into the upper classes of society. Later, Amy gives birth to daughter Elizabeth. This couple enjoys life, aids to the poor, and bees a model. “Your hand, Miss March!” was the only answer her mute appeal received, and too proud to cry or beseech, Amy set her teeth, threw bach her head defiantly, and bore without flinching several tingling blows on her little palm. They were neither many nor heavy, but that made no difference to her. For the first time in her life she had been struck, and the disgrace, in her eyes, was as deep as if he had knocked her down. During the fifteen minutes that followed, the proud and sensitive little girl suffered a shame and pain which she never forgot. To others it might seem a ludicrous or trivial affair, but to her it was a hard experience, for during the twelve years of her life she had been governed by love alone, and a blow of that sort had never touched her before. The smart of her hand and the ache of her heart were forgotten in the sting of the thought, “I shall have to tell at home, and they will be so disappointed in me!” (Louisa May Alcott, 2002:104)From those words we can see that Amy has strong selfesteem. She has strong likes and dislikes. She says, “I am a crotchety old thing, and always shall be!” She says it’s easier for her to risk her life for a person than to be pleasant to him when she doesn’t feel like it. As a child, her ambitions seem ridiculous — she’s always misusing big words and affecting little snobby behaviors. Sometimes she even shows signs of a violent temper, such as when she burns one of Jo’s manuscripts in revenge for being left at home while her sisters and Laurie attend a play. And she’s also overly sensitive, possibly even spoiled – one punishment for breaking the rules at school is enough to make her resolve never to go back.3. Similarities Reflecting Feminism in Women ImagesMeg, Jo, Beth and Amy are the four women who have ever quested for their happiness. They are all clinging to their love without any plaint and regret. They are considered as a kind of emotional creature. They all do not care much about power, money, or position, but for love. They all can endure all kinds of hardship and torments and even sacrifice themselves. They pursue their thorns, suffer great pain and then gain happiness. Rebels of God and Women’s Traditional Fate In the novel, the March sisters show talents and intellectual capacities which might lead them to careers: Meg as an actress, Jo as a writer, Beth as a pianist, and Amy as an artist. This is evidence of women’s intellectual possibilities. If given the opportunity, women are capable of achieving their potential to enjoy a delightful career life. Jo’s intellectual career is the most representative example. Beginning with fairy tales and melodramas, Jo’s adolescent ambitions are vague and grand: “I’d have a stable full of Arabian steeds, rooms piled with books, and I’d write out of a magic inkstand”.
