	The Sorrows of Young Werther \| WERTHER'sWORLD
		Werther rejects all of Albert's arguments and passionately defends the right to suicide, which he deems to be an expansion of natural death.
		Werther defends this crime because he is able to empathize with the accused murderer.
		Werther does not confine himself to mere contemplation of nature and a description of what he sees, but perceives his feelings to be reflected by nature.

		Werther will be a season highlight and a Chautauqua Opera event not to be missed.

		The Sorrows of Young Wertheris the story, told in epistolary form, of a young man who falls hopelessly in love with a woman betrothed to another man.
		Werther helped to make clear that the shift from the Enlightenment to Romanticism was not simply a shift in cultural fashion but a transformation of sensibility and affect.
		Werther's passion, accordingly, assumed the form of a spectacle, with its own attendant and inexorable stations of the cross, that revealed that the minute inspection of the self could turn into an abyss from which no form of management or regulation might be salvaged.

		Werther falls in love with a woman who is engaged to another man. As a result he suffers miserably, tormented by his existence, unable to dispel the burning desire in his `sorely beset heart'.
		It follows the story of Werther's love for Lotte, a love that is doomed to be unfulfilled because she is marrying another man and, though she loves Werther in return, her feelings are less passionate than his.
		Werther's growing passion is mirrored by his growing hopelessness and his increasingly obsessive behaviour, and he spirals towards despair and suicide.All of this is recorded in a series of letters written by Werther and, latterly, by the reports of a local official.

	The Sorrows of Old Werther by William S. Lind
		Century, Goethe’s romantic novel The Sorrows Of Young Werther led more than one "sensible" young gentleman to emulate the protagonist and kill himself.
		Werther’s December 30, 2004 column, "4GW and the Riddles of Culture," is one of his best.
		Werther references World War II resistance movements to pose the question of why they did not amount to much while the Iraqi resistance now faces the U.S. with a very serious challenge indeed, in the form of Fourth Generation war.

		Werther is almost frustrated due to the lower class’ inability to live freely but work and farm most of their time.
		Werther’s opinions on the surrounding society, thus, enables him often to interact with people in his own social class, as he keeps comparing their lifestyle to his own.
		Thus, Lotte finds consolation in Werther rather than the other way around.” Perhaps, Lotte and Werther could have never loved one another because they were emotionally too similar.”6 She needed someone to comfort her due to the loss of her mother, as he needed a comfort for his loneliness.

	The Sorrows of Young Werther: A Study in Adolescence
		Werther brings enormous suffering to Lotte over the course of the novel and never gives the slightest consideration to the effect his behavior is having upon her.
		Werther at the time of his death (presumably in his mid-twenties) had accomplished nothing and showed no signs of doing so, even had he not met Lotte and ended his life so young.
		Werther is not deserving of the adoration, even emulation, lavished upon him by the reading public of the 1770's, but he is deserving of our pity.

	The Believer - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's THE SORROWS OF YOUNG WERTHER
		When he labeled The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) “a masterly and devastating portrait of a complete egoist” and its sulking hero a “horrid little monster,” W. Auden summarized today’s prevailing view of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s debut novel.
		Werther’s sorrows didn’t look petty to Goethe or to his original audience, and they ought to feel even more familiar to us.
		Newly translated by Burton Pike from the author’s revised 1787 text, Werther is an epistolary account of a dilettante artist, pressured into diplomatic service by his parents and driven to suicide by overwhelming futility.

	[minstrels] Sorrows of Werther -- William Makepeace Thackeray
		Charlotte was a married lady, And a moral man was Werther, And, for all the wealth of Indies, Would do nothing for to hurt her.
		The reference is to Goethe's 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', a work that apparently inspired a lot of poems[1], though it's a pretty safe bet none of them took quite the tone of Thackeray's piece.
		He examined such subjects as hypocrisy, secret emotions, the sorrows sometimes attendant on love, remembrance of things past, and the vanity of much of life--such moralizing being, in his opinion, an important function of the novelist.

		Sorrow and discontent had taken deep root in Werther's soul, and gradually imparted their character to his whole being.
		The latter shook, his head doubtingly; and although Werther urged his case with the utmost zeal, feeling, and determination in defence of his client, yet, as we may easily suppose, the judge was not much influenced by his appeal.
		Werther, however, did not abandon his enterprise, and even besought the judge to connive at the flight of the prisoner.

	suicide note
		by J.W. von Goethe The Sorrows of Young Werther was first published anonymously in 1774 and almost immediately became what is often referred to as the first real European bestseller and secured 23-year old Johann Wolfgang von Goethe fortune and fame.
		The success of the novel went so far that numerous young men commited suicide in the fashion of Werther (he shot himself with the guns of his mistress's husband).
		Werther's suicide note is quite ample and so for now only the last part is published here, although we strongly urge you to read the whole book which can be downloaded for free from gutenberg.net.

	Book Review: The Sorrows Of Young Werther \| Rightshelf
		Given the fate of the protagonist in The Sorrows of Young Werther, it may be an open question as to whether it ought to be recommended to those who suffer from the pangs of unrequited love.
		Goethe does an excellent job in portraying the torment that pervades Werther's heart and soul, not to mention the delight he does indeed feel at having found someone he could love so wholly and completely.
		The story of Werther's obsession is told in a manner that strikes the reader as entirely credible and Werther is made into a powerful and moving representative of all those who have loved in vain.

		Although he learns that she is promised to Albert, he falls hopelessly in love with her at a ball and afterwards remains in a love triangle until he decides to tear himself away.
		Hastening his demise were these episodes: as a bourgeois employee at a ministerial legation he experienced a snub at a courtly festivity, handed in his resignation, stayed at a princely castle without feeling at ease, and finally responded to his memories of Lotte which drew him back to her town.
		Nourishing Werther “like a pelican with his very blood”, Goethe projected his own “disease” onto his alter ego Werther whose death is closely modelled on the suicide of a Wetzlar acquaintance named Jerusalem.

		Here is the classic story of Werther, a young man “seeking the infinite” in an art he cannot master and a woman he cannot have—the prototype of the Romantic hero in a work that anticipated the Romantic Age.

		They also talk about another young man, Albert, the absent fiancé of Charlotte, the Bailiff’s oldest child (but still in her late teens.) The two young men are great friends, and Werther comes to call, singing a brief ode to nature as the rehearsal is again taken up.
		The despondent Werther prays to God for help; and when Sophie comes to claim him for the first minuet, which he had promised her, he turns violently on her, saying that he is leaving at once and will never return.
		Albert then returns, hears that Werther is back in town, finds his wife very much troubled, and is handed a note from Werther, asking him for a loan of his pistols as he is off for a long journey.

	English 204 Lecture
		Werther is the outsider, youth thumbing its nose at science and The Establishment while embracing feelings and relishing interior struggle.
		Werther's conflict is not directly with society or a king or Fate or God or nature or supernatural forces; the tragedy arises out of the character's own personality; making this the first truly noteworthy psychological novel.
		As an epistilatory (series of letters) novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther is not unique; this was an invention of the latter half of the 18th century, but it did not originate with this book.

		Werther is crushed: "The idiot now stares with wide eyes because the other man really arrives and carries off the girl." His happiness is gone; life is misery.
		Try as he might, Werther has no ability to end his fixation: "I cannot understand how another can, how he dare love her, since I alone love her completely..." But he always acts the gent around Albert, and maintains his status as best friend to Lotte.
		'Young Werther' validates the emotions of the young, touches the nostalgia of the old.
