Can we talk about how aspec coded Jo March is in the Greta Gerwig movie. I mean you can sort of see it in other iterations but in this one it’s just very much there
Let me qoute some of the lines that Jo said
“I don’t see why I can’t love you as you want me to. I don’t know why. I can’t change how I feel and it would be a lie to say I do when I don’t. I’m sorry, Teddy, I’m so sorry, but I can’t help it… I can’t say “Yes” truly so I won’t say it at all”
That line hurts. The entire argument scene hurt and really stood out to me.
Then of course there is “I don’t believe I will ever marry. I’m happy as I am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up.”
“Women. They have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition. And they’ve got talent as well as just beauty. And I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it. But I’m so lonely.”
This one I literally cried at. There’s such this focus in society even now for women to find the right guy and settle down. If all a women is fit for is love and I can’t do that where does that leave me? A lot of the time I feel like I missed a necessary piece of girlhood. Because all the girls around you gush about the boys the like and when they ask your crush you have nothing to give them.
Then of course there’s the whole “I care more to be loved.” “That is not the same as loving” dialogue. That’s very cupioromantic coded but even as an aro I find it relatable because it’s not that I want a romantic partner it’s just that I want somebody to do life with. And everybody tells you that your options are either to be alone or married.

jo march blossomed into a world where the end all for women is romantic love. a world where romance is prized and valued over friendships, sometimes even familial bonds, leaving those who do not dwell on such subjects to feel isolated. loneliness for jo is not the lack of a romantic partner. it is the cold tones of an empty attic that is haunted by the memory of one filled with the golden light of laughter from best friends and sisters. Not much has changed from past to now with the idea that love is all a woman is fit for.
it's seen as taboo for a strong coded female character to admit to wanting to be loved. years of cultural messaging made many women associate independence or female autonomy with being stoic, being emotionless, the weapon-wielding, frequently assumed heterosexual heroine should be alone or else she is risking exhibiting subordination or dependence. as if her coexistence with a man automatically diminishes her to a secondary character. the emotional burden of romance, in most mainstream media, is often carried by the female character. even in the arc of the male hero, his love interest is written solely to fulfill a function as a stepping stone to self-actualization or a precursor is his "man pain."
jo march is terrified of change. she finds no comfort in the future. jo would prefer to stay young and play in the attic till the children’s last breaths because what was can feel better than what is.  however, change is forever linked to the wheel of time. suddenly, all this change came in rapidly in her life, as it does for all people when nearing the endings of childhood. everything is happening so quickly, and it can not be undone.
jo has a desperate desire- need to be alone, however not to be lonely. she is a woman fueled by passion, a passion that has consumed her entire being into a state of delusion. delusion in the sense that she lives in hopes that her and loved ones will stay youthful to play with her. jo's passion is bound by the inevitable, time. the little world that she had created with her sisters had shattered from the "curse" of aging. therefore, she actively tries to keep that same spark in her writing. her fantasy is better than the burden of reality. jo march is grieving the loss of innocence and childhood. as everyone else is going along with their individual lives, jo has either consciously or subconsciously chosen to never emotionally grow up.

I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don't know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness.
Tumblr media
I want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love.
Tumblr media
But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness.

" i'm a failure. jo is in new york being a writer, and i'm a failure. well, rome took all the vanity out of me and paris made me realize i'd never be a genius. so, i'm giving up all my foolish artistic hopes. talent isn't genius. and no amount of energy can make it so. i want to be great or nothing. "

The absolute wonderful aspect about Amy March is how human and precious she is.
Amy is unapologetically ambitious. She knows what she wants, and she isn’t ashamed of it. (And might I remind you ambition is normally viewed negatively for women in society). While Jo does have the incentive and goal to achieve her dreams, Amy’s ambitions are a lot stronger.
And perhaps it is her ambitious nature that drives her towards the rivalry and jealousy she has towards Jo. She constantly compares herself to Jo, because they’re both struggling (although in different mediums), within the arts… an extremely competitive field.
But in the end we must bear the fact that Jo becomes successful within the writing field, while Amy isn’t a successful artist.
She lacks the success as an artist, within the field she has dedicated her dreams, her life, and her time to and she needs to comes to terms with it.
However even her quitting is commendable, because Amy doesn’t settle for being normal or mediocre within the field she is genuinely passionate about.

Why does no one ever talk about the parallels between the Laurie and Jo failed proposal and Laurie and Amy confession scene?
The fact that both March sisters when they realize what Laurie is going to say respond with “No, no” then Laurie’s “I’ve loved you ever since I’ve known you Jo” parallels Amy’s “I’ve spent my entire life loving you.”
This is driving me insane. I keep thinking about it.
