Reading Wilhemine's memoirs

OK, mildred, I'm starting to see what you mean about teen!Fritz just not... being very good at plotting. It seems clear from the way she talks about FW and Fritz that he just wanted OUT. Wilhelmine (who seems in general a little less damaged/abused, although the queen is putting her through a LOT of emotional abuse, it's super awful) keeps trying to tell him all of this is a bad idea!

Fritz: *waltzes in wearing fancy French clothes*
Wilhelmine: WHO IS THAT WEIRDO?! Oh, it's you, bro.
Fritz: I am FED UP with FW, I have a plan!
Wilhelmine: ...that is a really, really terrible plan, bro. Here are all the reasons this is super stupid. Please don't use that plan, you'll be captured immediately.
Fritz: ...oh. Okay.

*rinse and repeat SEVERAL TIMES*

Fritz: I have another plan!
Wilhelmine: As usual, that is a really terrible stupid no-good plan.
Fritz: Don't care. I'm DOING IT.

[personal profile] selenak, I am now kinda wondering whether Schiller had specifically read Wilhelmine's memoirs and whether Elisabeth owes a debt to her, because Wilhelmine's pointing out how boneheaded his plans are and begging him to stop is giving me flashbacks to Elisabeth doing pretty much the same with Posa.
