But also irrationally, I don't know what were Louise May Alcott's true intentions for Jo if free from publisher demands (If she wanted Jo to remain a literary spinster), but in the book, she marries the older uggo*! People need to accept that!!

She’s loaded pretty obviously and, to me, is racing toward that “Thelma and Louise” cliff. She had such promise several years ago when she ditched Fox. Follow the money. Pamela Jo/Karoline morphology is now like a union card in the old days.
