Louisa May Alcott was a Unitarian, and the story's moral framework reflects that tradition's emphasis on virtue and character over creedal doctrine; this is a literary/dramatic work rather than a theological one and should be evaluated primarily as such. TheoScope users should note this is a secular classic with Christian moral overtones, not a Christian book in the confessional sense.
