This Josephine looks to be a moody one.

Can we talk about how aspec coded Jo March is in the Greta Gerwig movie. I mean you can sort of see it in other iterations but in this one it’s just very much there

Let me qoute some of the lines that Jo said

“I don’t see why I can’t love you as you want me to. I don’t know why. I can’t change how I feel and it would be a lie to say I do when I don’t. I’m sorry, Teddy, I’m so sorry, but I can’t help it… I can’t say “Yes” truly so I won’t say it at all”

That line hurts. The entire argument scene hurt and really stood out to me.

Then of course there is “I don’t believe I will ever marry. I’m happy as I am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up.”

“Women. They have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition. And they’ve got talent as well as just beauty. And I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it. But I’m so lonely.”

This one I literally cried at. There’s such this focus in society even now for women to find the right guy and settle down. If all a women is fit for is love and I can’t do that where does that leave me? A lot of the time I feel like I missed a necessary piece of girlhood. Because all the girls around you gush about the boys the like and when they ask your crush you have nothing to give them.

Then of course there’s the whole “I care more to be loved.” “That is not the same as loving” dialogue. That’s very cupioromantic coded but even as an aro I find it relatable because it’s not that I want a romantic partner it’s just that I want somebody to do life with. And everybody tells you that your options are either to be alone or married.

[history-and-arts]

I have seen a resurge of interest in this miniseries since the release of Ridley Scott's disaster. There is an excellent version on youtube that you can watch.

This scene depicts a situation that did actually happen between Napoleon and Josephine. Josephine either faked a pregnancy or mistook a possible pregnancy to avoid having to travel to Italy during Napoleon's campaign in 1796. Eventually she was pushed/forced to visit Napoleon in Italy because Napoleon began to slack his military campaign out of worry/desperation for his wife. Of course it would become obvious that she wasn't in fact pregnant. This scene depicts Napoleon finding out about the 'miscarriage'.

Even though this miniseries is not that historically accurate, it does capture the character of Napoleon so much better than Ridley Scott's new film.
