This time Emily and I will be analyzing chapter "Vanity Fair" from Little Women. This is by far, the most requested chapter people have asked me to analyze on the podcast!
Meg’s longing to fit in with wealthier circles grows stronger, leading her to accept an invitation to a lavish party. She becomes disillusioned when she realizes that appearances don’t bring true happiness, and the superficiality of the people around her starkly contrasts with the values of her own family. This chapter explores the tension between social ambition and personal fulfillment.

Please notice that Little Women podcast has it's focus on the book canon. Laurie is partially based on Alcott's ex Laddie Wisniewski and friend of the Alcott sisters Alf Whitman and Friedrich is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who Alcott wanted to marry and the German poet Goethe (her favorite writer). I also firmly believe that Alcott planned the marriages in Little Women, years before she wrote the book, you can read more about that here https://archiveofourown.org/works/52882897?view_adult=true
