Answer:

A mother of four daughters raising a family in nineteenth century America in the background of the Civil War, Mrs. March educates her children in manners and morals, forms them into intelligent, gracious, loving women, and transmits to her daughters the perennial wisdom of human experience and Christian living.

Explanation:

Enjoying a humble life in modest circumstances without luxury, Mrs. March teaches her children the riches of family life that wealth does not purchase. The oldest daughter Meg envies girls who can afford gowns for balls and attendance at concerts, Beth feels deprived without the benefit of music lessons, and Amy feels at a social disadvantage with other girls her age who enjoy affluence.

The sisters soon learn, however, that their wealthy neighbor Teddy feels poor compared to the March sisters. Living alone with his grandfather, he feels he is missing the joys of family life when he observes all the fun the March sisters experience. He remarks, “I can’t help looking at your house, you always seem to be having such good times.”

Every evening he notices the domestic joy of the entire March family gathered in one room: “it’s like looking at a picture to see the fire, and you all round the table with your mother.”

While the March sisters love fashion, style, finery, and elegance and think of marrying into wealth, Mrs. March instills in them higher ideals. Although she wishes them “to be beautiful, accomplished, and good; to be admired, loved, and respected . . . to be well and wisely married, and to lead useful lives,” she explains that happiness in love and marriage do not depend upon riches.

Mrs. March consistently teaches her daughters to apologize, repent, and forgive.

When Jo and Amy argue and lose their tempers because Jo does not want to take her younger sister to the theater and Amy retaliates by burning manuscripts of Jo’s stories, the sisters harbor bitter resentment and refuse to talk to each other. Amy taunts Jo with recriminating words: “I told you I’d make you pay for being so cross yesterday,” and Jo also vows revenge: “I never can write it again, and I’ll never forgive you as long as you live.”
