Well, but Werther is literature while TC is just whining.
And, if you knew anything about Goethe and the time Werther was written it you'd know that Werther was written somewhere around 1774 which was right in the middle of "Sturm und Drang" or "Storm and stress" if you prefer the english tranlsation of it.
And "Storm and stress" was kinda meant like an opposite pole to "The Enlightement" which was a time in which people solely concentrated on the intellectual side of things. What is freedom? Democracy? etc.
While "The Enlightement" produced many valuable things and ideas it lacked a more humane point of view and that is why Goethe, as it's sort of trailblazer, wrote Werther, upon others, with an extreme focus on human emotions etc.
Damn. I learned to much about literature in school.
Or worse, I remember too much of it

I know it, I read it for school. I'm still in high school.
But still, I found this book so fucking bad I think only "Nad Niemnem" by Eliza Orzeszkowa(Polish writer) was worse. I mean, this book has over 20 (TWENTY) pages about ONE TREE.
And if it comes to Goethe, I like "Faust" a lot more.

@ this book, it's so fucking emotional I cannot believe it. The guy is a fucking wimp and he doesn't have any balls I think.
