I think this book needs to be examined historically.
First of all, when I did a little research, I found out that the book was written by Goethe in exactly two weeks in 1774. Although it seems impossible to me that such a qualified book could be written in such a short time, I wanted to share this information with you, which is available almost everywhere. Is it really possible to create such a work in two weeks?
After the book was written, suicide cases by Werther hooligans increased in Germany, and therefore the book was banned for a long time. In fact, the readers of the book in Germany at that time were so impressed by the book that the trend of "dressing like Werther", the main character in the book, began. There were young people wearing blue jackets and yellow trousers. This is really nice information. Think about how a book can change a person's clothing... This is such an impressive work.
The plot is as follows: A young law intern named Werther falls in love with a woman named Lotte. This love is full of suffering and pain, and at the same time, it is surrounded by impossibilities and obstacles. Because Lotte is an engaged woman and social rules do not allow Werther and Lotte to unite. Here we may encounter a question like this: Is it ethical to fall in love with an engaged or married woman/man?
In addition to being one of the books that should be read first among the World Classics, it is also a book that is a few steps ahead of its derivatives due to the originality of its subject and its historical impact on people. It should definitely be read one day.
