About This Novel

"The Sorrows of Young Werther" is written in diary and letter style. This style is good at revealing the inner world of the protagonist and expressing the depressed psychology and melancholy emotions. Werther came to a small town and met a girl named Lotte at a dance. He fell in love with Lotte. But Lotte is engaged to someone else. Seeing that he could no longer win over Lotte, Werther left resolutely and accepted the position of minister's secretary. The minister's pedantic, bureaucratic habits and intrigues brought great pain to Werther. He resigned from this official position and was invited to the manor of a marquis. However, at the Marquis, Werther found that his talents were still unable to be used. Love was shattered, society abandoned Werther, and Werther also abandoned everything. Finally, in despair, Werther committed suicide. As soon as this novel was published, it made the younger generation crazy.

_The cold weather prompts me to change my kapok fur, and I rely on the original works in the suburbs to travel closer. Most of all, the autumn wind is nosy, red maple leaves and white hair.
