Amy apologies crying Jo March for burning novel: Amy: I am the most sorry for it now. I'm so sorry. What does it mean, "don't let the sun go down on your anger"?
I wasn't aware it was anything other than the lyrics to the song "Don't let the sun go down on me" written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin in 1974. The meaning is explained here (songmeaningandfacts.com) and I think it has the same
meaning in the film: The singer asks his partner to not let the sun go down on him to mean that they shouldn’t leave because of their anger towards him. Their reason for wanting to quit, as Elton puts it, is because of his own controlling behavior. He admits that instead of saving himself, he tried to change his lover’s way of life. Though he expresses that he did not mean to harm them, they seem to draw further away from him.
I had no idea it was in the book as well, thanks. Elton John uses it in the same way with the same meaning Egmont gave, as is obvious from the link I provided. Songfacts®:
