The Dangers of Young Love

There are few pains as potent as heartbreak. When someone we love tells us to our face that they do not want us anymore. It can feel like we are being ripped in two. But there is a book that for hundreds of years now has given voice to the heartbroken like none other - The Sorrows of Young Werther, by Johann Goethe. It explores the Philosophy and emotions behind heartbreak in great detail. And today we shall explore its depths.
