The sequel to Little Women, Little Men, takes place at Plumfield, which the now married Jo and Fritz have turned into an orphanage/school for young boys, based not-so-subtly on Bronson Alcott's then-controversial educational theories.We are introduced to Jo's sons, Rob and Ted; Laurie and Amy's daughter Bess, the Brooke twins Daisy and Demi (a clever way of avoiding Margaret and John Jr.), their baby sister Josie; and Professor Bhaer's orphaned nephews Franz and Emil. Also on hand are a mixed assortment of other Aesop-appropriate youngsters, the foremost being gentle ex-street violinist Nat; his best friend the wild and surly Dan; Daisy's tomboyish friend Annie, called "Nan" and the happy-go-lucky Tommy.Following up Little Men ten years later is Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men". Plumfield has grown into a mixed college (a rare phenomenon at the time) and we rejoin these beloved characters as young adults, plagued by an epidemic of romance and broken hearts amidst chasing dreams and choosing careers before the final curtain falls forever on the stage of the March family. | |

Tall, Dark, and Handsome | |
| Little Men / int_1892d512 | comment |
Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Dan is this in the books to the other characters due to his swarthy Spaniard/Native-American good looks, strong, muscular physicality and impressive height. His very handsome features are mentioned frequently, especially in the early stages of Jo's Boys - not that Dan seems aware of how good looking he actually is. Dan attracts the eye of the ladies, eventually even beginning to charm Bess. It does not end well for their potential relationship and Dan in general who ends up dying alone and unloved (romantically). Affectionate Daisy claims Nat is this Trope - but it is implied that it is because she is loyal and loves him. Not that Nat is unattractive - he's just more of a Pretty Boy with often mentioned big blue eyes and pleasing, if pale and slim features. | |

| Little Men / int_1c712be8 | comment |
To a certain demographic, this is what is really happening between Dan and Nat's encounters and their close relationship - especially given the way brooding Dan and gentle Nat are physically described. Oddly enough, Dan does not get any of this with Ted though it is repeatedly stated how fond the two of them are of each other - probably because their relationship is so brotherly. | |

Ambiguously Brown | |
| Little Men / int_2207b002 | comment |
Ambiguously Brown: In Little Men, Dan is described with black eyes, black hair, and, at several points where his skin is mentioned, brown skin. It's unclear as to whether this is racial, tanned, or just dirty, but Jo theorizes in Jo's Boys that Dan has Indian blood in him. Everyone else in the book seems to be of European-descent (several are specifically blond Germans) except for a Black cooknote and, given some hints in the narrative, possibly another Black character in the background, but Dan just seems like the odd boy out. Perhaps that is why at the end of Jo's Boys, it is revealed that Dan dies protecting the Indians? Perhaps he felt some connection to them and this was a subtle way of putting it across. | |

Guilty Until Someone Else Is Guilty: Nat is accused of theft. He's the only suspect and assumed guilty for two reasons: he was the only one besides the victim who knew where the money was, and he has a history of lying to make himself look better, which he's trying to overcome). The other boys treat him like dirt until the true thief reveals himself. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
| Little Men / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Because Demi is clearly Alcott's favorite character, and because he adorably mispronounces words, it's considered cute and charming in Little Men when he bullies his sister and cousin into burning all their favorite toys in a "sackerryfice" to an imagined god, the "Naughty Kitty-mouse". (He freely admits that this was a compromise choice, because he had no "live creatures to sackerryfice".) | |

Animated Adaptation: Got one as a part of of World Masterpiece Theater series, called Little Women II: Jo's Boys. The name comes from Jo's Boys, but is based on Little Men. It also focuses more on the tomboyish Nan than any other character (possibly to appeal to Japanese audiences), and cuts out Dick Brown and Billy Ward. | |

Cue the nineteenth century version of a Credit Card Plot. | |

Meg and John until he dies. Laurie and Amy too. It can also be assumed that Franz and Emil and their wives end up in good marriages. Tommy and Dora along with Nat and Daisy most certainly become this, while Bess and Josie are said to have married good men and have good marriages at the end of Jo's Boys. | |

Killed Off for Real: In Little Men, the well-loved John Brooke suffers this fate, leaving Meg a still-young widow with three children. And in Jo's Boys, the physically deformed, kind-hearted Dick Brown and the severely mentally challenged Billy Ward die, as the reader is alerted to in the very start of the book. Later on in the book in the epilogue, George "Stuffy" dies and then, much to the eternal anger, outrage and horror of fans, Dan dies alone and loveless years later defending the Indians, in what many consider a brutally unfair and tragic end to such a loved character. While not mentioned only in passing, both Mrs March and old Mr Laurence are dead by the time Jo's Boys begins. | |

Credit Card Plot | |
| Little Men / int_d392974f | comment |
Credit Card Plot: Nat experiences the 19th century version of one in Jo's Boys. He goes to Germany for advanced musical training, and Laurie has given him a generous allowance (and the narrator notes that he was going to give Nat more but the women had to talk him down). Nat's personality makes him many friends, too bad they're rich and Nat feels like he has to spend as much to keep up. Then New Year's comes and all his bills arrive in a rush. He panics, but knows that the only honorable option is sell everything that he can, move back to his initial humble apartment, and take menial jobs to live on now that his bank account is empty. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Little Men / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: You can't have a Louisa May Alcott book without some! Early on in Jo's Boys Dan/Nan gets a bit of teasing with Nan admiring Dan's impressive physique (biceps!) and outright stating that she finds Dan the best looking of all the boys - much to Tommy's dismay. Subtly implied and hinted at from the start is Dan/Bess - this goes well out of Ship Tease territory from Dan's point of view later on in the book. It ends badly. To a certain demographic, this is what is really happening between Dan and Nat's encounters and their close relationship - especially given the way brooding Dan and gentle Nat are physically described. Oddly enough, Dan does not get any of this with Ted though it is repeatedly stated how fond the two of them are of each other - probably because their relationship is so brotherly. Nat gets a bit of this himself with Minna, the German girl while studying in Germany - though Minna does truly fall in love with him, Nat does not have eyes for anyone but Daisy. Some interpret any scene with Ted and Josie to be this though they do not end up together to the dismay of some fans who likened them to Laurie and Jo of 'Little Women''. | |

Expy: Meg's youngest daughter, Josie. She's just like her namesake Aunt Jo, only with acting instead of writing. She is, in fact, called 'little Jo' in dialogue more often than 'Josy.' Meanwhile, Meg's oldest daughter Daisy takes after her Aunt Beth as Mr March and Jo wistfully observe, being sweet-natured, domestic and a lover of music. Happily, she gets to experience the adult life her aunt never had, going on to fall in love and set up her own home. Bess is more like her gentle namesake, being a frail, angelic girl. Daisy is more of the mini-Meg, being inclined to domestic hobbies and acts like a big sister to everyone. She even falls for a poor man just as her mother did. | |

Jerkass: Jack is about the only boy with no redeeming traits; described as selfish, sly and money-hungry. Most notably, in Little Men he steals Tommy's money, doesn't care when everyone blames and alienates Nat for it, let's Dan falsely confess to it and only when Dan saves his life does he feel any remorse for his actions. By Jo's Boys, he and Ned are out of the picture and considered two of Plumfield's few "failures. Although, during Emil's accident, Jack does write with "unusual warmth", while "good-hearted Ned" comes down to shake hands with the school workers, and expresses how sad he is." | |

Accidental Murder: While travelling, Dan runs into a young man named Blair and takes him under his wing in the rough town they stop at, knowing Blair is young and unused to the lifestyle. When Blair takes up gambling with unfair men who mean to swindle him and remove Dan from the picture, Dan gets into an argument with one of them - ending in Dan accidentally killing the man by knocking him down as he was about to shoot him. Dan is tried and put in jail. | |
