Little Women Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Cricket

Cricket is the name Marmee calls Beth after she kisses her on the cheek and Beth hands her a blanket or apron. Cricket is a pet name that Marmee uses for Beth only that one time. Beetle is the name Jo calls Amy when they are sitting on the bed playing with the cats and rewriting Jo's book after Amy almost drowns in the skating pond.

Answer: Fred Vaughn

We first meet Fred Vaughn when the March family is celebrating the return of their father from the war, and the gift that Mr. Lawrence has given to Beth. Later, when Laurie chances upon Amy, he accuses Amy of being interested in Fred only for his "bank account".

Answer: Professor Bhaer proposes to Jo

At the very end of the movie, Mr. Bhaer proposes to Jo outside in the rain. He comes to visit her, but thinks she is married. After she comes after him, she tells him that it is Amy who is married, not her. He then proposes to her and she accepts.

Answer: Concord, MA

"We don't get a lot of opera in Concord."

Answer: Little Women

Jo decides to call the book 'Little Women' and the novel is shown being printed and bound. She also inherits Aunt March's house after her death and turns it into a school which, unlike Plumfield in the book, takes girls as well as boys. Meg and Amy also teach there. The ending brings into question just how much of the film is real (so to speak) and how much is fiction, as it is implied that the scene with Jo and Bhaer, as Jo catches up with him and tells him she loves him as he is about to leave for California, is the scene Jo put into her book to pacify Mr Dashwood.

The decision to end the film with Jo publishing her first book has been suggested as an interpretation of the ending Louisa May Alcott really wanted for her, but was unable to write due to her publisher's demands. It may also be a reference to the fact that Alcott based some parts of 'Little Women' on her own life (Beth is based on her sister Lizzie, who also died young).

Answer: Daisy

Their daughter's name is Daisy. Jo refers to her name just before answering the door to find out that Laurie has married her sister Amy while they were studying in France.

Answer: Corn starch

Corn starch was the only thing that director Gillian Armstrong tried that appeared as real snow when the camera filmed it. The corn starch was also environmentally safe. This detail can be learned from watching the extras on the special edition DVD version of the film.

Answer: Amy

Laurie proposes to Jo first, his original and true love. Jo refuses him and later, after returning to France to console Amy over Beth's death, he proposes to Amy and marries her.

Answer: Laurie's tutor

John Brooke is Laurie's tutor, and he and Meg get married.

Answer: Orchard House

This is actually the house that Alcott grew up in.
