In a way, Caroline proves you could go wrong marrying for love in the 18th century just as much as if your marriage was arranged
Indeed, but I note that her first marriage went really well, and that she was engaged again only 7 months later. In other words, Fredersdorf may have led her to believe that marriage for love was awesome and going to work out really well, and then no one else lived up to his standards.
What I begrudge is that Labes the louse got to live in Zernikow for nine years just because he pissed Fritz off (if Achim tells the truth) and thus couldn't be the one to stay in town!
I begrudge this too!
least of all was it comparable to the one with my dear Fredersdorf.
<333 I'm so glad we have her own words now.
Next question: does Labes sound as if he could have been a drinking buddy of Kaphengst (living nearby in Meseberg at exactly the same time) or what?
YES. And if Kaphengst is known for riding the countryside stirring up the leaves while hunting for local women (and men?) to have sex with, and Labes is getting men drunk so he can have sex with their wives, I'm going with these two as fellow fratboys.
