EDITORS COMMENTS
Goethe's 'Sorrows of Young Werther': A Moment of Longing and Unrequited Love - First Sight of Charlotte (Lotte) This evocative image captures the poignant moment of first sight between the protagonist of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's novel, Werther, and Charlotte (Lotte), played by a young girl in this historical depiction. Dressed in the high-waisted, voluminous skirts and intricately-patterned bodices typical of the 18th century, Charlotte sits in a parlor filled with books, a symbol of her intellectual pursuits and the allure that draws Werther to her. The father, a stern figure in the background, returns home, unaware of the profound impact his daughter will have on the young man. Published in 1774, 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' is considered one of the most influential works of German literature. Goethe's novel, which was initially published anonymously, tells the story of Werther, a sensitive and passionate young man who falls deeply in love with Charlotte. Unable to express his feelings to her, Werther's longing and despair ultimately lead to his tragic suicide. The novel struck a chord with readers, particularly the young and romantic, and sparked a wave of 'Wertherism' - a phenomenon characterized by the imitation of Werther's style, mannerisms, and tragic end. This poignant moment of first sight between Werther and Charlotte encapsulates the essence of the novel's themes of longing, unrequited love, and the power of the written word. The image invites us to reflect on the depth of emotions that can be stirred by a simple encounter and the enduring impact of literature on our lives.
