Honorable and sensitive young Werther literally perishes from a love that can never be, a love for a married young woman, and writes his agonized letter diary to a friend, describing in tragic emotional detail his experiences. |

Here, in Faust, Part I, the tremendous versatility of Goethe’s genius creates some of the most beautiful passages ....[more] |
