The movie fosters their sacred sisterly bond and the perfect chaos they invoke in their quaint house. Meg, an anchor of responsibility and grace Jo fiercely family-oriented with a boyish charm and an affinity for action Amy, a rambunctious spirit with a mischievous personality and Beth, a do-no-wrong pianist with love and generosity for all. They were the spitting image of hope of having grandiose lives for small-town women. She intentionally emphasizes these flashbacks to show the amount of potential all of the March sisters had. a startling comparison between their huge hopes and disappointing realities, paralleling the reality of most women in the 1800s.
