Abstract:
ABSTRACT Goethe’s novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774 and revised 1787), stands at the very beginning of the modern period, and offers a dramatic story of passionate love, which is still profoundly relevant. As a popular bestseller, this book is a response to emerging romantic themes. It seems to affirm romantic experience, while it initiates a critique of many of its typical forms at the point when these stereotypes were first beginning to appear. Through a close examination of Goethe’s text, this article considers (1) Werther’s self-destructive passion; (2) romantic love as a heroic response to the alienation of modern society; and (3) the problem of gender, which Werther ignores. In this novel, Goethe begins a philosophical conversation on love that we are bound to continue: What is romantic love, and in what way does it liberate or constrain us? And given some of the problems of romantic love, what would a “post-romantic” love be like?

Abstract:
This paper studies the idea of identity loss and suicide in three novels that have different cultural backgrounds. These novels are Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina (1877), Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) and Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958). The paper discusses the theme of suicide in all of these three novels through concentrating on one major aspect which is individuality. Okonkow in Things Fall Apart, Anna in Anna Karenina and Werther in Sorrows of Young Werther have suffered and struggled hard to live as happy individuals in society. Each one of them had dreams and ambitions which they tried to realize. Individuality seems one of the strongest motives behind their own dreams. However, all of them have failed in their pursuit of having an individual life away from social constraints and pressures. The study points out the social, psychological, political factors and conditions that lead to the individual’s identity loss. All these protagonists were looking for establishing an unfettered personal identity, but they all lost their dreams on the way and the result was a downfall, a loss of individuality, and most importantly a tragic life which pushed them to commit suicide.

Abstract:
Friends of literature often claim that it is capable of making readers more tolerant and benevolent. Enemies of literature, on the other hand, claim that it is capable of corrupting readers. Both groups exaggerate the power of literature. The exaggeration has important consequences for the debate about the role of literature in the curriculum of law schools and also for the debate about the limits of literary expression. This paper discusses one literary work frequently used to exemplify the negative effects of literature: Goethe’s “The sorrows of young Werther”. It is a commonplace among literary scholars that the publication of the book caused numerous suicides in eighteenth-century Europe. This paper raises doubts about that commonplace by emphasizing the lack of evidence to support it as well as the gravity of its political implications.

In this fascinating article, the Professor of Archaeology in the University of Exeter shows us that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) was not only the author of Faust, The Sorrows of Young Werther, and of beautiful lyrics, ballads and love-songs, but was keenly interested in prehistory and was well abreast of the subject as it was developing in Germany in the early nineteenth century.

Abstract:
The relevance of the study The publication in 1774 of the epistolary novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe became not only an outstanding fact in the biography of a still very young German genius at that time. The echoes of this event can be felt over the next several years, when this work literally turned the worldview of contemporaries, as well as in the following centuries in numerous artistic paraphrases. Obviously, the meaning of The Sorrows of Young Werther goes far beyond the purely literary sphere; therefore, its research should be approached with the appropriate tools. This key can be intermediality, which explores the processes of interspecific interaction of arts as mediums that do not compete with each other, do not strive for mutual intervention, but, on the contrary, reinforce each other’s action. The study of the mechanisms of intermediality makes it possible to go beyond the narrow professional field and determine the general cultural context of the era, which is an urgent task of modern humanitarian science. The purpose of the study is to characterize the mechanisms of interaction between literature and music in Goethe’s epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther and the basic role of these mechanisms in the formation of a sentimentalist worldview. The results and conclusions. Consideration of the Goethe’s epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther in the aspect of intermedial connections prompts several thoughts at the same time. First, in this novel, at the declarative level, literature retains its position as an already fully formed social institution. Literature, like art history and philosophy, is not anonymous here, but personified. In this approach, one senses an attempt at an aesthetic discussion with immediate contemporaries, the penetration of a publicistic component into a work of art, which became a powerful part of Herder’s essay sermons in the late 1760s. At the same time, music and painting appear as forms of realizing the ‘true,’ extremely sensual human nature, not reduced by various secular conventions. Werther draws, Charlotte plays the piano and sings, the ball scene is permeated with music. The newfangled hobby for folklore has determined the anonymity of musical toposes in the novel: these are ancient songs that sound accompanied by a piano, as well as popular dances—in this one can also see the influence of J. G. Herder. The entire fabric of the novel permeates and defines music as a super-idea: the music of the language and the music of novel drama with its discontinuous fragmentation and temporal fluidity. The presence of music within the story legitimizes its emotional exaltation, unpredictable syntax. The mention of singing or playing music influences the development of the storyline, the music becomes that invisible director who constructs the form of a whole literary work. The intermedial interaction of the two by nature temporal arts serves as an intensified catalyst for the ‘feelings biography’ of the protagonist, which also unfolds in time and directs the reader’s attention to the irrational sphere. The interpenetration of literature and music becomes a tool for overcoming outdated artistic conventions and the formation of a new type of European literature, in which attention to the sensual sphere becomes a way of reflecting the life of the New Age as fluid, subject to constant changes. The main conclusion of the study is that The Sorrows of Young Werther marks a turn from the typical for sentimentalist style music ‘literaturezation’ to counter processes, which will be fully revealed already in the era of romanticism.

Under the sway of Postmodernism, combined with historical background and customs, Taiwan has been drastically changing. It has become clear that downgrading authoritarianism and the upgrading underprivileged have been part of a general trend. One classic example of the trend is the rise of youth subculture. With the help of widespread Internet information and deification manipulated by social media, youth subculture has made its mark on the mainstream culture of the society. During the changing process, social unrest occurs, conventional values decline, populism dominates cyber space and even causes bullying and social media are steeped with gorgeous marketing. Such noticeable changes cannot be denied influencing modern life greatly. The designed artworks for this study are based on a project, where negative labeled terms used by marketing websites are included in art performances and recreational activities. By analyzing the feedback video clips by netizens, the study aims to identify whether audiences have changing viewpoints about these labeled terms. Paintings and table games cover the issues of deification, cyber bulling and populism. Social values are challenged by Postmodernist ideas and pluralism which is inherent in Postmodernism is highlighted. Hopefully, the creations for this study shed light on the complicated and undeniable trend under the influence of Postmodernism and evoke the public to give retrospective and prospective thoughts about the trend. A Plan of Developing Into Young Werther is a project which uses realistic paintings as a means of deification. The whole project is a creative combination of interactive installation arts, new media, Internet and game planning in order to accurately mimic the plural stimuli and multiculture youngsters and the public have been experiencing with different senses. Faced with the overwhelming deification, both youngsters and the society seemingly cannot fight against the continuous reincarnation of cultural reproduction. Nobody can avoid the trend.

This study discusses the use of foul language by “Young Fuckers” of Hogwarts Junior High School. Its aim is to discover the formation of the swearing culture between junior high school students by looking into their cognition and usage of swearing. In this case study, observation, questionnaires, and interviews are used. Through these methodology, the sorrows of “Young Fucker” are uncovered. This study concludes that: I. “Young Fuckers” think that foul language is obscene and aggressive and it’s a way of exchaging emotions. II. “Young Fuckers” think that foul language is offensive. It is unacceptable when the swear words related to genitalia and curse of the family members. III. “Young Fuckers” are awared of postives and negatives of foul language and get used to it. IV. “Young Fuckers” think that the best times to use foul language is when being with friends. V. “Having conflicts with friends,” “Having fun with friends,” and “Entering swearing-friendly school environment” lead “Young Fuckers” to experience the first use of foul language. VI. “Young Fuckers” learn foul language from family members, peers and friends. VII. “Young Fuckers” think that foul language can be “rude,” “ambiguous,” “fun,” “creative,” and “popular and catchy.” VIII. Teachers are awared of foul language culture between students. But they would stop students from using the foul language. This case study aims at finding out how swearing culture influence junior high school students. Based on the results and findings of this research, the study provides some concrete suggestions and some ideas that hopefully can be discussed in future research.

Abstract:
‘I have so much and my feeling for her devours everything, I have so much and without her everything is nothing.’ The Sorrows of Young Werther propelled Goethe to instant fame when it first appeared in 1774. Goethe drew on his own unhappy experiences to tell the story of Werther, a young man tormented by his love for Lotte, a tender-hearted girl who is promised to someone else. Overwhelmed by his feelings, Werther begins to see only one way to escape from his anguish. Goethe's story of a sensitive young artist alienated from society channelled the Romantic sensibility of the day and led to a wave of imitations. Werther's searching introspection and the passionate intensity with which he bares his soul have an immediacy that is all the more powerful for being expressed in letters; charting the course of his emotions, they give added drama to the unfolding account. David Constantine's new translation captures the novel's lyric clarity, and his introduction and notes illuminate Goethe's achievement.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter revises accounts of British bourgeois tragedy’s importance to the drama and fiction of the turn of the nineteenth century, presenting evidence of the genre’s lasting influence and intervention in political and social debates as the century closed. It connects the English tradition to the serious fiction of the continent, offering detailed readings of Frederic Reynold’s stage adaptation of Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther in 1786 and Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s adaptation of G. E. Lessing’s Emilia Galotti in 1794. Placing both in their immediate historical contexts, it links them to the radical politics of their day. Together this body of literature, the chapter argues, sees modernity as a tragic condition and the stage of revolutionary conflict in which ordinariness itself is conceived as a kind of affliction.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter explores the way in which the eighteenth-century conception of crying, linked mainly to the analysis of sensibility, gradually gave way to the nineteenth-century conception characterized by an increasingly suspicious view of tears. Indeed, lachrymal secretions were considered the expression of sensiblerie, a neologism coined by Mercier in 1801 to indicate the pathological degeneration of sensibility itself. First, the chapter analyses Henry Mackenzie’s novel The Man of Feeling (1771) in which sentimentality is the subject of internal criticism. Second, it establishes a comparison between two writings by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe—The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) and The Triumph of Sensibility (1777)—to highlight how this author contributed both to the rise of sensibility and to the condemnation of its excesses. Finally, it shows how the aesthetic and moral rejection of pathos in France in the tournant des Lumières period was most effectively expressed in the parody of sentimentality and tears to the point that the so-called ‘popular genre’, having established itself during the 1840s thanks to Eugène Sue’s Mystères de Paris, remained the last bastion of nineteenth-century sentimentalism. In this tear-jerking machine, the doctrine of sensibility was now reduced to a consoling and self-defeating rhetoric devoid of any philosophical-moral basis.
