ok y’all -- I’m guessing this is an unpopular opinion but... I love professor Bhaer!!!
I still think Jo is gay &/or trans & I’m not sure I see them as a couple, but I think he’s splendid!
I feel like Louisa does such a good job at making characters likeable from the inside out. like she does with Jo! like, she basically describes Jo as having a pleasant but unattractive face (that “comical nose” & all), but Little Women readers are obsessed with Jo for her deeply delightful, complicated, fiery self!
I kinda feel like with Bhaer, Louisa kinda made an older, male Jo-- bookish, bright, generous, messy...! so I mean... of course I love him!
let me know your thoughts! love him, hate him, don’t care?
love Laurie so much you hate all other Jo suitors (honestly I totally get it-- I love Laurie a stupid amount too!!!)?
p.s. my opinion might change cuz I only just met him a few pages ago & I’ve still got a chunk of the book to go!
