SilverSolfege for Young Amy March
Amy, in her childhood, is spoiled and vain. She is obsessed with all things upper-class, and her great ambition is to be a gentlewoman and to marry rich when she is grown up. Her interest in high society might be shallow, but her kind heart is deep, and people appreciate her classy behavior. The best portayal of her to reference is Kirsten Dunst in 1994.
LINE CONTEXTS:
1. Jo has left Amy out of an outing with Laurie. As revenge, Amy has burned Jo's manuscript in the fire while they were out. This is revenge - and childish revenge at that.
2. The sisters are rehearsing their annual Christmas play, and Jo is trying to get Amy to practice the fainting scene, saying she's too stiff.
3. Amy is very set on being prim and proper and is offended by Jo's word choices.

I BURNED IT. I burnt up your stupid little book. I told you I would make you pay, and I did!
I can't help it! I never saw anyone faint, and I won't make myself all black and blue, tumbling flat as YOU do. I'll fall into a chair and be graceful.
Jo, don't use slang words! It's so boyish.
