Reflective, Poignant, And At Times Humorous, Balancing The Gravity Of Beth'S Illness With The Lighter Moments Of Amy'S Antics And Her Writing Of The Will.

Amy, staying with Aunt March, feels her absence from home and struggles under her strict regime. Despite the hardship, she forms closer bonds with Esther, the maid, and continues to receive support from Laurie. She also drafts a comical 'last will and testament' during a time of loneliness and worry for her sick sister, Beth.

While at Aunt March's, Amy is undergoing a difficult period of adjustment, feeling the absence of her family's love and struggling with Aunt March's strict ways. Amy performs household chores, studies tirelessly, and endures Aunt March's prosy talks, finding comfort only in Laurie's visits, Esther's companionship, and in rummaging through Aunt March's old treasures. Secretly fond of Amy, Esther informs her that Aunt March's will includes her and her sisters as heirs. Amy contemplates her own mortality due to Beth's illness and, mimicking her aunt, writes a playful will of her own to distribute her cherished belongings. Laurie, acting as a witness, solemnly oversees the signing before disclosing Beth's worsening condition, deepening Amy's distress. However, Amy seeks solace and hope through prayer in a small 'chapel' prepared by Esther.
