The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a tragic novel about a young, sensitive artist named Werther, who falls deeply in love with Charlotte, a woman already engaged to another man, Albert. Despite knowing she is unavailable, Werther cannot control his emotions and becomes consumed by his passion and despair. His letters reveal his intense feelings, loneliness, and growing hopelessness. Ultimately, unable to bear the pain of unrequited love, Werther takes his own life.
The novel explores themes of romantic obsession, emotional intensity, and the conflict between reason and feeling, making it a defining work of the Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) movement and an influential early Romantic masterpiece.
