Read it for lit.
Depressing pre-analysis and depressing post-analysis.

Ein ewiger, poetisch umschriebener Wettkampf, wer am meisten leidet und wessen Schuld es ist.
Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die Klassiker lieben, für alle anderen wahrscheinlich etwas anstrengend.

Fascinating concept. The language of the story is very high society and somewhat to flowery for a reader some 200 years removed. If there were a translation that was more readable it might be better.
