Since anon asked me about the sex scene between Jo and Fritz in Little Men I ended up re-reading the whole book. Then I thought I would write a review about it and now it seems I might need to make a double review since when looking the sex scene I had to double read all Jo scenes, Friedrich scenes and Jo and Friedrich scenes and 90% of all my notes about Little Men, are about how amazing truly Fritz is. You know how in Little Women Jo says, her friend Friedrich Bhaer was not only good, but great. Just look at this scene how he is interacting with Nat, when he 100% beliefs that he stole Tommy´s money. “I am very sorry Nat, but evidences are against you, and your old fault makes us more ready to doubt you than we should be if we could trust you as we do some f the boys who never fib. But mind my child, I do not charge you with this theft I shall not punish you for it till I am perfectly sure, nor ask anything more about it. I shall leave it you to settle with your own conscience. If you are guilty come to meet me at any hour of the day or night and confess it, and I will forgive and help you to amend. If you are innocent, the truth will appear sooner or later, and the instant it does, I will be the first to beg your pardon for doubting you, and will so gladly do my best to clear your character before us all”. Nat has a history of “telling tall tales” so of course Fritz though it might have been Nat, but he doesn´t blame him or shout at him or abuse him at all. He is so kind and gentle, and we don´t deserve him. I also love the scene where Emil tells about the one time he got into trouble and he could´t even dare to look at his uncle´s sad face and remember how much he had done for him.
