- Abstract
Louisa May Alcott is considered to be an excellent children’s story writer. Her book, Little Women, is considered as a classic and has been very popular for years. This novel describes the four sisters’ growing experiences and their marriage. The story touches the depth of readers with its exquisite narration as well as its sincere feelings, which enables it to be a resplendent pearl in American literary history. The author of this thesis will analyze this novel from perspective of Western Humanism. Through this study, the author aims to highlight that humanism is not a theory which common people can’t reach; instead, it can be shining on the ordinary people like the characters in Little Women. Meanwhile, the author expects the new and overall interpretation on Little Women can be accepted by ordinary people. Hopefully, they can advance and enrich those thoughts in the Western Humanism.
