Abstract
This research explores the journey of self-discovery experienced by Amy March in Little Women (2019), directed by Greta Gerwig. Unlike earlier versions where Amy is often seen as shallow or secondary, this adaptation presents her as a strong, ambitious, and thoughtful young woman. The study aims to understand how Amy’s character grows and changes throughout the film, both in the way she thinks and acts, and how this growth is shown on screen. To do this, the study uses three main approaches. Adlerian psychology is used to look at Amy’s inner motivations and personality development. Radical feminism helps explain how Amy deals with the social expectations placed on women, especially in a male-dominated society. Mise-en-scène analysis is used to examine the visual elements in the film that support her character transformation. The data was collected by watching the film closely, taking notes, and organizing important scenes into tables. Each scene was then analyzed based on key dialogues, actions, expressions, and visuals that reflect Amy’s growth. This study shows that Amy March is not just a supporting character but a fully developed individual who chooses her own path while challenging traditional gender roles. By combining psychological, feminist, and visual analysis, the research gives a deeper understanding of Amy’s journey and highlights how modern film can reshape how we see classic characters. In conclusion, Amy March’s journey reflects the complexity of being a woman with ambition in a patriarchal world. Through her compromises, reflections, and redefined aspirations, Amy discovers a version of success that balances love, purpose, and resilience, illustrating both the costs and strength of self-determined womanhood within social constraint
