Louisa May Alcott's "character"
I am a huge fan of Louisa May Alcott and have put countless hours into research of her life, and going into this episode I honestly didn't have high expectations.
The casting of Alcott alone was an insult. Upon watching I found many things wrong with it so I am going to share them here. At the beginning of the episode Louisa comes in with a family named the Humphreys, they say Louisa lives in Concord, they began to talk about how Alcott is now a published author, referring to her book Flower Fables; which was published in 1854. Now, Alcott did not move to the state of Massachusetts until 1858, which makes this scene not make any sense. The next scene we see Louisa is talking about how her family is "broke", when at this time in her life they still were very rich, not losing their fortune until the civil war broke out. Another thing I noticed about her character is they made her very self-absorbed and in your face, which is not what like Louisa was like at all. It was also unlike Louisa to talk bad about Nathaniel Hawthorne, since they were so close in real life. While Louisa and Emily are on their run, Louisa mentions that women should not get married because men just expect you to stay in the kitchen and have children, now while Louisa never married, that was not her thinking on the subject. Alcott never married because she loved her independence and freedom too much and wanted to make a living on her own,she enjoyed struggling in life;however Louisa spent much time dating men. When they are all sitting around the dinner table, Louisa goes on to say she has an idea for a novel about 4 sisters who do not have a dad, it begins on Christmas and she adds, "What if one of the sisters dies?" I thought this was really disrespectful to Louisa and her sister Elizabeth, as well as everyone else close to Elizabeth. The other problem being the March sisters did have a Father, but he was away at war and comes back when the war is over. Louisa did not come up with the idea on her own to write Little Women, she was asked by her publisher Thomas Niles to write a "book for girls." I am overall very disappointed that they chose to degrade such a strong woman and heroine. It honestly hurts that this episode exists.
