Die Leiden des jungen Werther (German Edition)
As I interpret the parable, the horse represents the conscience of the bourgeois. The owner represents things the bourgeois respects like money, reputation and law. In exchange for a comfortable salary, a bourgeois functionary like Albert sacrifices the authority to think for himself.
From now on he must accept arguments, no matter how illogical, when they come from his superiors. The bourgeois can therefore no longer be a philosopher.

Werther, on the other hand, loves his freedom and independence. In a essay, J. According to Coetzee, Erasmus deliberately puts his cutting critiques in the mouth of a character intended to be perceived as a fool. We know, for example, that the nominally adult bourgeois chases money, and the sensory pleasures it procures, with the same eager avidity of a boy awaiting cookies and cakes. But we would really prefer not to be reminded of this.
He therefore puts his criticisms in the mouth of a character prone to hyperemotionality, sentimentality and exaggeration.
About Goethe: Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers
By putting his criticisms in the mouth of the emotionally fragile Werther, Goethe gives his readers what we might call a "time-release capsule of thought. We recall them later when we ourselves are exasperated with bourgeois life, and in the mood to listen to criticisms. I can easily imagine that a book like this one was a sensation in the day. But he certainly is a great writer. See all 7 reviews. Amazon Giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz, reward your audience, and attract new followers and customers.

There he meets Charlotte, a beautiful young girl who takes care of her siblings after the death of their mother. Werther falls in love with Charlotte despite knowing beforehand that she is engaged to a man named Albert, eleven years her senior. Despite the pain it causes him, Werther spends the next few months cultivating a close friendship with them both.
He suffers great embarrassment when he forgetfully visits a friend and unexpectedly has to face there the weekly gathering of the entire aristocratic set. He is not tolerated and asked to leave since he is not a nobleman. He then returns to Wahlheim, where he suffers still more than before, partly because Charlotte and Albert are now married. Every day becomes a torturing reminder that Charlotte will never be able to requite his love. She, out of pity for her friend and respect for her husband, decides that Werther must not visit her so frequently.
He visits her one final time, and they are both overcome with emotion after he recites to her a passage of his own translation of Ossian. Even before that incident, Werther had hinted at the idea that one member of the love triangle — Charlotte, Albert or Werther himself — had to die to resolve the situation. Unable to hurt anyone else or seriously consider murder, Werther sees no other choice but to take his own life. After composing a farewell letter to be found after his death, he writes to Albert asking for his two pistols, on the pretext that he is going "on a journey".
Charlotte receives the request with great emotion and sends the pistols. Werther then shoots himself in the head, but does not die until twelve hours later. He is buried under a linden tree that he has mentioned frequently in his letters. The funeral is not attended by any clergy, or by Albert or Charlotte.
The book ends with an intimation that Charlotte may die of a broken heart. Charlotte's life was despaired of," etc. Werther was one of Goethe's few works aligned with the aesthetic, social and philosophical ideals that pervaded the German proto- Romantic movement known as Sturm und Drang , before he and Friedrich von Schiller moved into Weimar Classicism. The novel was published anonymously, and Goethe distanced himself from it in his later years, [2] regretting the fame it had brought him and the consequent attention to his own youthful love of Charlotte Buff , then already engaged to Johann Christian Kestner.
He wrote Werther at the age of twenty-four, and yet this was all that some of his visitors in his old age knew him for.
The Sorrows of Young Werther - Wikipedia
He even denounced the Romantic movement as "everything that is sick. Goethe described the powerful impact the book had on him, writing that even if Werther had been a brother of his whom he had killed, he could not have been more haunted by his vengeful ghost. Yet, Goethe substantially reworked the book for the edition [2] and acknowledged the great personal and emotional influence that The Sorrows of Young Werther could exert on forlorn young lovers who discovered it.
