The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
5.0
emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Goethe transforms the deepest sorrow into something magnificent, hauntingly beautiful.

At last, I would like to say: “Dear Werther, love is not the only thing in this world. There are countless other wonders waiting for you to discover.” So sad…
