Unfair question! Would you rather drink a bucket of boiling medicine or be stung by a thousand wasps? Answer one or the other! You have to answer one or the other!
I can't think of a single central character from Little Women (or from Little Men, for that matter) that I didn't love for one aspect of their personality or other, and didn't relate with as a result of their character challenges. Jo is fiery and bold, but hot-tempered and can be brash. Amy is generous but spoiled and obsessive about her looks. Could it be said that Marmie (or any parent) loves any of her children more or less than another?
Let those who divide into camps secede, if they must... for myself, I embrace them all as I would a family, the wayward as well as the faithful.
