A coming-of-age novel that conquers the world! Brand new approved version! This edition is translated from the German InselVerlag Goethe WerkeVierter Band final edition. Napoleon read it seven times, and Hesse had read it thoroughly since childhood.
Werther is a young man who yearns for freedom and equal life. He has the sentimentality, frankness and cuteness of young people, and his extreme thoughts. He met Charlotte at a dance and fell in love with her at first sight. However, Charlotte was already engaged and deeply in love with her fiancé Albert. Werther couldn't help but fall deeply in love. This love that had no results from the beginning but was always willing to sacrifice itself made Werther struggle so hard that he was almost unable to bear the misery. In the end, Werther committed suicide by drinking a bullet with the belief that "if you cannot live for love, you will die for love."
Reader comments
Although Werther's love is bereft, it is at least better than some characters who are destroyed if they don't get it. Werther chose a path of burning his life, choosing to let go and be fulfilled, and the other two people in this relationship didn't have much to criticize.
But having said that, Werther's mind is so delicate and sensitive, suitable for talking about poetry and poetry, but he may not be called a good man. After all, he cannot adapt to the so-called reality at work. If he and Lotte were together, would he lose his original enthusiasm because of the incompetence of life?
I've been tired of reading online articles recently, so I happened to read it when the Chinese language article came to this point. The teacher recommended that "The Sorrows of Young Werther" was suitable for young people like us, so I came here.
At first, I was looking for the sense of substitution that the teacher said. I felt that Werther and I were very different people. At the beginning, he was a literary person. I thought I didn't have the same appreciation of the world as he did. Plus, his writing style (it can only be said that it was very consistent with his talented character. After reading it, I felt that a layman like me could only appreciate it, and there was really no sense of substitution). Watching the contradictions and problems gradually arise in the ordinary daily life, it feels like it is not a big deal. I believe this will be a heartwarming story that may have some youthful sorrow. I saw his worries about love and difficulties at work. Let's talk about work first, because I don't have much empathy for him when he is still in college. When I saw him being ostracized at the banquet and trapped in rumors, I just felt that people should be more self-reliant, and people should be proud of themselves and not be easily disturbed by the outside world. When it comes to love, I see that kind of pure love. This kind of love reminds me of my junior high school, my fantasy and persistence in love, and my pure doubt about myself. This is very similar to my first crush in junior high school. Then the entanglement with Lotte and Albert reminded me of my high school. The girl I liked in high school dated a good friend of mine. My two friends (that girl and my good friend) are also very good people. My dark thoughts may be somewhat similar to Werther's.
In the end, I can only say that Werther is crazy, and I can no longer bring it here. At first, I felt a little sorry for his paranoia. Such a good person wasted himself like this because of love. Later, Werther talked about committing suicide. I was extremely angry. Why did you commit suicide? Why did you commit suicide? You have a good family, excellent talents, and you have such good friends around you. I was very angry. When Werther and Lotte met for the last time, my anger towards Werther turned into a kind of lamenting indifference. He was already crazy, and I didn't care. A crazy person is not worthy of my anger, but I am still glad that Lotte kept her bottom line and prevented all three of them from becoming a joke. At the end, I started to get angry again, why did love make you commit suicide and end your life with such a crazy self-movement? Maybe falling or seeing through the mortal world will not make me angry again, but why did you die with such a pure heart.
I think Werther went crazy in the end, just like the long-term worker in the previous article, echoing the previous exchange with Albert in such a way, using that pistol. Look at the people around you when you die, which one doesn't move you, and which one isn't an outstanding good person? Do you really not feel guilty for making these people suffer like this?
Werther is very lucky to have such good friends around him. What I hope is what Lotte hopes, that he can let go of this false and persistent love and pursue new happiness. They will still be good friends in the days to come.
After reading it, I can find my own shadow in Werther, but I am different from him. Love will not be everything to me, and it will not make me crazy. Maybe when I was in junior high school, I would have such a fantasy, kiss the girl I love most and then commit suicide, but some things pass after time, and I can no longer find the impulse I had in junior high school. I hope men and women immersed in love can wake up: nothing is as important as your life! Don't commit suicide! Suicide is the saddest thing for you and for those you love and love you!
After reading it, I feel that Werther is very similar to the male protagonist in some books. Although he loves the heroine very much, there are many things that are not suitable for him. If Werther is in the 1V2 book, then there will be a happy ending.
Werther, I feel that he imagined Lotte very well (although Lotte is indeed good). Sometimes I wonder, did Werther fall in love with the real Lotte or the imaginary Lotte? After reading it, I started thinking again, did Werther fall in love with Elliot's affectionate self?
Finally, I felt that it seems that I still don't understand everything about love [staring]
Pure love, the tangle of struggle. Obviously deeply in love, but so sensible that it makes people lament and awe
The Troubles of Young Werther----
My heart is too complicated and has too many ideas. How can we not worry about gains and losses?
No one can escape the five poisons, six desires, seven emotions and eight sufferings!
Abnormal love triangle, invincible love brain, life is so painful, death is also a relief for him!

What impressed me most about this book was Werther's deep love for Charlotte. That kind of pure and persistent love is really touching. And the translation is very good, the writing is beautiful. It reminds me of "Romeo and Juliet", the kind of story where you can risk everything for love. I think Werther is like another Romeo, but his ending is more tragic. This book is well worth reading and highly recommended!
Not being able to love is suffering
Feeling of relief
Werther's deep love is admirable, but he also wasted his life because of this deep love.
I think this book deserves a 9.7 Rating, I learned a lot.
I like this book
Werther would have had a great future if he wasn't so affectionate
Werther is so infatuated and affectionate [almost crying]
