Handsome, charming, smart, and cheeky. Though raised to be a gentleman, Laurie has a mischievous sense of humor. At his worst, he can be spoiled, selfish, and self-indulgent; Laurie’s always grown up with wealth and privilege and he sometimes takes that for granted. But at his best—usually when he’s around the March sisters—Laurie is intelligent, kind, and protective. He’s always seen himself as an honorary member of the March family and he would do anything for them. Best portayals to reference are Timothee Chalomet in 2019.

LINE CONTEXTS:

1. Laurie is teasing Amy. This just gives us a sense of Laurie's personality. He's fun-loving and definitely a bit bored with schooling. He's lazy. He's teasing Amy in response to her insistence that he go work for his grandfather.

2. Laurie has just proposed to Jo and been rejected. She is insisting she'll never marry, and this is his response. I like the way Timothee Chalomet handled this scene in the 2019 version, defeated and hurt.

3. Playfully taunting Jo.
