A review by sbbarnes
Die Wahlverwandtschaften by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

4.0

Much easier to read than most of Goethe's writing. Charlotte is deeply sympathetic to me, such an even-tempered person. Eduard is less so. What a drama queen. Also, why are only Charlotte, Ottilie and Eduard (and I guess Nanni?) called by their names while everyone else gets a job title? lends a very allegorical tone. I guess a tract on the relevance of divorce?
