Which Alcott sister were you?

[nkf]

I was Jo of course until she married that revolting Bhaer man. Then it had to be Amy, sily girl though she was.

[Poledra]

I wanted to be Jo, but my older sisters would only allow me to be Beth or Amy, as they bagged Meg and Jo. So, early death or spoilt-bratness? Hmm....

[LuluisgoingtobeanAunty]

Jo. but not quite as clumsy

[FromGirders]

Damn it, I was Meg. Still am

[mankyscotslass]

Jo, but with a bit of Meg thrown in!

[fishie]

i wanted to be jo but i suspect am amy.

[LadyOfWaffle]

Beth, always Beth

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Definitely Jo.

[dizietsma]

Jo

"until she married that revolting Bhaer man"

Ditto. I married my Laurie. Travesty that she didn't.

[francagoestohollywood]

I wanted to be Jop. But also Beth. I have a split personality

[fossa]

Ha, I knew practically everyone would say Jo. Loisa May Alcott based Jo on herself.

Im a bit Meg, a bit Amy but without the 'being pretty' bit. a bit Jo, but no Beth.

[janeite]

Jo without a doubt. But Mr Bhaer is lovely, even though I still always have a little sigh when Jo refuses Laurie.

On a tangent - DD1 would have been Laurie, had she been DS!

[ScummyMummy]

Don't know which I am but Jo is the best one, easili. Bhaer v v v v strange. He gets a troubled kid to beat him at one point, iirc.

[ScummyMummy]

easili?! easily, I mean

[DisasterEggs]

I'd like t be as good and nice as Beth. But I have neither.
Probably Amy without the prettyness. Although I do have a nice nose.

[TheOldestCat]

In my pious early teens I liked to think I was Beth. But I was probably a mixture of Amy and Jo. Agree, Jo definitely the best one, especially when she cuts off her hair.

[LadyGlencoraPalliser]

Jo, of course. But she should have married Laurie.

[TheFallenMadonna]

March, no?

Not mad on any of them really.

[onebatmother]

Was there a slutty one?

[LadyGlencoraPalliser]

Nope. Though I always thought Amy might have been a bit of a goer if she had had the chance.

[onebatmother]

Oh No! I don't have and Al(cott)ter ego then! Amy was all below the surface iirc. Whereas I was quite upfront and personal.

It might have sent the narrative in unexpected directions. 'Now Jo, you know full well there's no rubbing-alcohol to mend that scratch you got clambering over the brier-hedge! Onebat drank it all weeks ago!'

[MoominMymbleandMy]

Jo, naturally. Who married Laurie in a parallel universe.

Ever since I read Jasper Fforde I've always thought Amy would be on a BookWorld hitlist.
