The story then takes a seven-year leap back in time. The opening scene establishes the strength this movie draws from its portrayal of Jo – as a strong woman – working as a teacher and a writer in New York City. But Aunt March’s view on marriage is not acceptable to Jo which leads Amy to overtake her place. In Jo’s opinion, Europe is where the opportunities exist for her. Aunt March gets her first pick with Jo, who reads to her and aspires to go to Europe in return. Estella as Miss Havisham’s perfect prodigy gets a twist in this variation. So, probably Alcott remodeled her version of Miss Havisham in Aunt March. In the book, the girls are fond of reading and enacting the Pickwick club from ‘The Pickwick Papers’ by Dickens. This wealthy fussy old woman living alone in a mansion reminded me of the resentful Miss Havisham from Dicken’s Great Expectations. Never miss real stories from India's women.
