I had to read it for school so we were off to a bad start. The beginning was okay but the last 30 pages were soo boring. So basically there is this dude Werther and he falls in love with Lotte but she is engaged and later married to Albert.
Tomorrow I’m going to write an exam on this book so wish me luck. And lately I’ve been feeling depressed and got so worried when Werther said stuff that I relate to. Spoileralert he unalives himself at the end. Tbh the beginning was bad the middle part was meh and the ending was bad too.
But it’s considered a classic so idk

This is definitely a well written book that was very important for it's time and genre.
However, I have no interest in reading about a man whining for almost 200 pages about a woman that clearly has no interest in him. Maybe I would be more emphatic towards Werther if he didn't romanticize the sexual assault inflicted on a woman he doesn't even know and then proceeded himself to assault the woman he supposedly loves more then anything in the world.

So many random descriptions of nature and Werther was a dramatic and annoying shit.
Some of Lotte's scenes were sweet though.

is this the first bpd novel? i have never felt so understood and also had all my mental illnesses called out by a book before 😭 goethe and werther original bpd royalty
'i treat my heart like a sick child'
'if i saw blood i should feel relief... i should like to open a vein that would procure me eternal freedom'
'i want to die! i lay down to sleep, and this morning, in the calm of awaking, that thought still remains firm, still quite strong in my heart: i want to die! it is not despair, it is the certainty that my sufferings are complete, and that i am sacrificing myself for you.'
literal mood lmao. ive written so many quotes down (more than i have for any other book ever 🥴) but those are a few of my favourites that really hit me full force in the gut with all the weight of my own sufferings :))
obvious tw for suicide and self harm, i recommend this book to anyone who isn't on the verge of doing either because it will make you want to top yourself in solidarity with poor werther x
