The Immature Masculine And Egotistical Sublime
• • • • •   (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten)

Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe gave himself a rite of passage by writing this book. He was suffering from a great deal of emotional confusion at the time, and the story served as a catharsis to expunge what he felt were unhealthy aspects of emotionality in his personality. The story is popularly classified as Romanticism because of it's rich organic imagery and overwhelming emotional tone. Goethe never thought or referred to himself as a Romantic. In his later years, he viewed Werther as a stage of life in which he had undergone a sort of transformation that aided him in leaving his adolescence behind. The story of Werther that unfolds through his letters is a lucid description of the strong subjective nature of restless emotionality characteristic of a youthful stage in life. The significance of what Goethe captures in this novel is how clearly it demonstrates, in an archetypal manner, the transgressive and oppressive nature of the emotions when fixated at immature levels of masculinity. The story is absorbing and beautiful, and made all the more remarkable by the fact that Goethe wrote it at age 24! I will never forget this book. If you want to read Goethe this is the place to start!
