As a modern reader, I found _Werther_ a bit of a slog. It's full of flowery, over-the-top language that induced some eye-rolling. Additionally, you can blame Goethe for the whiny emo-boys whose only mode of art-making seems to be self-indulgent, navel-gazing confessionals. Yes, I blame Goethe. Howe...
So who am I to judge Goethe's most famous work?Yep, right.Utterly romantic, utterly pastoral and oh, yes! utterly lamentable. Again, it came too late in my life.
Oh Werther, Werther, how did you suffer for your unreachable Charlotte!There are people who actually LIKE the books they had to read in class. I'm one.
