Reviews for March Sisters
27 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Es un libro de ensayos en los que cada una de las escritores escribe acerca de una de las hermanas March y reflexiona sobre estos personajes, sus experiencias en los libros, así como algunas d e las vivencias personales que tuvieron las hermanas de Luisa May Alcott en quienes fueron basadas las hermanas March. Hay unos ensayos más personales, otros donde se habla mucho más del personaje literario vs la persona en la vida real. Me pareció interesante y entretenido, me hizo reflexionar acerca de algunos temas que allí se tratan , como el papel de la mujer históricamente, el cómo a través de la ficción podemos construir realidades alternativas con ciertos fines, y sobre todo, me hizo desear releer Mujercitas y reflexionar acerca de mis propias opiniones, ahora de adulta, sobre las hermanas March.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an interesting examination of each of the March sisters. The chapters on Meg and Jo are interesting enough, but the chapters on Beth and Amy are innovative and provoking.
