The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a heartbreaking story about a young man named Werther who falls deeply in love with a woman named Charlotte. The problem is, Charlotte is already engaged to someone else. Told through Werther’s letters, the book shows how his emotions spiral out of control as he struggles with unrequited love, loneliness, and his own thoughts. It’s a powerful look at how intense feelings can take over a person’s life, especially when love feels impossible. Written in a poetic and emotional style, it captures the highs and lows of being young, sensitive, and hopelessly in love.
