About This Novel
Goethe's epistolary novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther" tells the story: Once, young Werther attended a country dance, met the girl Lotte, and fell in love at first sight. Unfortunately, Lotte is already married and has an owner, so she is engaged first. In order to get rid of this hopeless and painful love, he decided to leave Lotte and work as a secretary in the legation. The corruption, hypocrisy, vulgarity and boredom of the officialdom prevented him from displaying his talents. Werther left angrily and was invited to stay at a marquis's manor for a period of time. However, he was still incompatible with the environment there, so he returned to Lotte. Lotte was married at this time, and he could no longer stay by her side at will. Love is broken. In that decadent and dark society, he could not find a way out, and finally committed suicide in despair.
