What If Jo Had Stayed with Laurie?

In Little Women, four sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—grow up in Massachusetts during the Civil War. The story follows their struggles, dreams, and the deep love they share as a family. Jo March, the most rebellious of the sisters, dreams of becoming a writer, while also navigating relationships with those around her, including Laurie, their charming neighbor.

One popular fan theory is that Jo’s choice to reject Laurie was more about independence than love. What if Jo had said yes to Laurie’s proposal? Would she have still followed her dreams, or would she have settled into a life of domesticity with Laurie?

A key moment in the film is when Jo receives a letter from Professor Bhaer, who encourages her writing and teaches her to love herself. This moment marks Jo’s full transformation from a young girl focused on adventure to a woman who finds fulfillment in her passion and family.

What if the story explored a prequel showing how Jo became the writer she was? Or a sequel where we follow the next generation of March sisters and their own unique journeys?
