BTW, where did you get the idea that Robespierre was "non-sentimental, non-trusting Robespierre whose private space was so small that almost non-existing" from? Now, basing ourselves on historical sources, we know quite for sure that he was very sentimental, after all, he was a Rousseauist and loved all the nature-people-doggies-flowers etc. stuff, to put it simple. In his private space, he loved to play big brother to the Duplay youth, priding himself for solving their petty disputes, and to other revolutionaries, and there were parties where this political brotherhood was cherished at the Duplays almost every night. (BTW, Couthon moved to the Duplays with his family, and still nobody speculates about a love between the two ;-). That's history. The "man without friends" is 20th century fiction. The "cold monster" is a British one.
