Abstract

Contemporary women often encounter problems in their views on marriage and love, such as materialization of selection criteria, lack of spiritual support in love, and lack of unity between love and marriage, thus being unable to have the ideal love or marriage. This study aims to explore the marriage experiences, concepts, and inspirations of Meg, Jo, and Amy in the movie "Little Women", and provide new solutions and methods to address the aforementioned issues faced by women in their views on marriage. Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, this study concludes that contemporary women should be more inclined to choose partners who can meet their spiritual needs in their views on marriage and love, and establish their material selection standards. At the same time, they should establish the concept that marriage and love cannot be separated, to achieve their ideal love and marriage. This study has practical significance in proposing reasonable suggestions to address the issues above.
