Little Women Amy Monologue

AMY: You think I’m stupid, Josephine, but I know more about the world than you ever did! You think that if you go to Europe, things will be so different: that you’ll get to do and be whatever you want. But Europe isn’t the set of one of your theatricals! You don’t get to make up what happens in life! There are rules over there, just like here!

Aunt March is taking me along because I’m smart enough to keep my peace! Because I act like a lady and you never do! So be what you are, Josephine. And live with the consequences.
