Question

In at least 100 words,discuss jo’s liberty.what does her mother mean when she says that after jo experiences liberty she will find that there is something sweeter? What might she think would be sweeter than freedom and independence

Answer 1

Answer:

Jo's mother speaks of the need to be married and settled in a family with her man and children.

   

Explanation    

In page 459, the second paragraph of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, Jo had confided in her mum her desire to go away to try something new.

Her mother with some reluctance agrees but states that after her thirst for freedom is satisfied, she will find that she has a longing for something else.

For in their conversation Jo had mentioned that besides seeking new things, the other reason she wants out was that Laurie was getting fonder and fonder of her. [Please see Page 460, paragraph 5]

After her mum inquires about why she is not desirous of becoming mates with Laurie, her mum acquiesces and in 5th Paragraph of page 461 her mother states "You I leave , to enjoy your liberty till you tire of it, for only then will you  find that there is something sweeter."
