Emily and I combined our powers once again to discuss Jo's and Friedrich's relationships and Louisa May Alcott's attraction toward intelligence. When Friedrich gives feedback to Jo, Jo appreciates it, because she wants to develop as a writer. Friedrich is based on men who Louisa was in love with like Henry David Thoreau, but also her favorite authors such as the German poet Goethe.
