In "Little Women", which of the March sisters married Laurie?
Answer
Amy
The story behind the answer
Amy is the March sister who marries Theodore “Laurie” Laurence. Laurie first proposes to Jo, but she refuses—recognizing their temperaments would clash and valuing her independence. Later, Laurie reunites with Amy in Europe, where both have matured: Amy tempers her youthful vanity, Laurie grows past his idle longing, and their ambitions (her art, his music and purpose) align. They return home married.
Context tip: Louisa May Alcott modeled Jo on herself and famously kept Jo unmarried to challenge romantic expectations. To remember: “Jo says no; Amy says ‘oui’ in Europe.” Also
