Summary: "Werther" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a novel written in the late 18th century. The story centers around the poignant character of Werther, an artist who experiences an intense, unrequited love that leads him into the depths of despair and existential contemplation. This exploration of passion, emotional turmoil, and the struggles of individuality against societal expectations has made the work a seminal piece of literature that resonates with themes of romanticism, mental anguish, and the search for meaning. At the start of "Werther," we are introduced to the protagonist's sense of relief after departing from a friend, expressing both joy and inner conflict over his emotional attachments. As he reflects on his past relationships, particularly his feelings towards Léonore and the turmoil it brings, we see the landscape around him mirror his inner state, evoking the beauty and despair he experiences. Werther’s sensitivity and appreciation for nature are evident, and his letters reveal a contrast between his vibrant feelings and the darkness brewing inside him, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his character and forthcoming struggles.
