Friedrich Bhaer is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Louisa was in love with him and he appears in literal disguise in all of her novels. He is also based on Alcott's favourite writer, the German poet Goethe. Unlike Greta Gerwig that lies to millions of people, Jo and Friedrich never argue in the book, and Friedrich is the one who helps her to become a writer. He literally gives the same advice to Jo, as Goethe inspired LMA to improve as a writer. Laurie is partially based on Alcott's ...

In this collaboration with Emiloid, we explore why film makers put Jo and Amy against one another in Little Women. 
Do they have more in common than we think?

Why on earth the filmmakers think it is a good idea to have the two sisters fight over a guy when in the novel they both find Laurie lazy and unproductive (and Amy eventually becomes the one who helps him to shape up his act). Little Women is a coming of age story, both Amy and Jo grow as people.

The ever-old question. The novel answers why Jo rejected Laurie, but the filmmakers never show us Laurie´s growth process, or why Jo travelled to New York in the first place.
