From the title, I'm guessing part 3 is coming. This was excellent! Göthe's Werther was the equivalent to a pop sensation today, with ultimately much more substance! Have you ever done anything on Victor Hugo? Yes, different country, different generation. Göthe was excited about Hugo though. Hey! I did notice your wardrobe. Very appropriate! I've never seen a yellow vest. Don't do anything rash! ☮💚🙂🎶
Very true, Werther made Goethe a kind of proto-type modern celebrity. A concept he tried to move away from later in life. But yes, with much more substance! I have read Hugo’s Notre Dame as well as Les Misérables-the only two I have ever been able to find. I thought of doing a series on Les Mis, simply because the novel is so radically different from the stage production, I thought people may be interested in how characters in his novels did not play roles that we are used to seeing today, at least, not to such an extent, (main character, minor characters, antagonists ex.). But the adaptation, for obvious reasons, had to adjust these things for the stage. I thought of doing a video on this, and probably will eventually. And I had no idea about the praises Goethe had for Hugo. I had to look that up. I don’t know how I have never come across that information, so thanks for that! Reading about it now! Hahah, I had to order that vest just for these three videos. The yellow vest and blue jacket, I will just refrain from throwing myself off a cliff, for the time being. Thanks for another inciteful comment, and teaching me something new!
That is a rabbit hole that deserves its own channel, haha. Though I could have made a part 4 and 5 on this work alone, I had to stop at 3. So there will be that =)
Oo, I love that segment about the relationship/class dichotomies. Very thought provoking. It goes right along with some commentary I'm exploring for my other channel (and have personally in the past) about "high" and "low" opinions of people and classes. What's interesting in the romantic perspective is we get a reversal of the usual theme that exalts the upper classes, viewing the lower classes as more genuine. Ah, the complexity! Thanks for this, looking forward to part 3.
What is the name of your other channel? I will check it out! And yes, it is an interesting look and comparison with modern views and how they have evolved over time. 😊
@@attention5638 it's Witch Hazel's Cauldron. Was dormant for a long while as I entrenched myself in writing, but finally posting to it again, which is why I keep thinking in terms of two different themes when I comment on your videos!
As the title would suggest, yes, there will be a third! haha. Thank you for watching! And yeah, wasn't sure if he was a likable character or not, but he will be back.
It was one of the first novels (novella) that really got me interested in literature. Though I didn't exactly understand what I was reading at such an age haha
@@attention5638 When I read it, I find myself in Werther, it make me think and cried alot back then. I’m excited to see ur third part, keep up the good work ^^
YesBut-- (Warning: incoming snark-i-tude) Poor dear Goethe seems to be saying "Money can't buy happiness, but I'm sure gonna try it another 70 or 80 times before I give it up." Am I mistaken? If I am mistaken, it would not surprise me, and I swear I don't want to sneer at a thing that is precious to you. I've found, though, in recent days, I struggle to love my friends, the Transcendentalists 'cause they were almost all rich and bored. Not that the things they wrote were wrong. They just seemed blissful and oblivious to what a worthwhile life means to folks who can't necessarily afford a private Cabin on Walden Pond.
Oh, I don't think you are mistaken at all. Goethe, along with Schiller were very much like the Transcendentalists in that way (the play The Robbers is a good example). Goethe addresses it in his journals, a kind of disconnect, or a misunderstanding of a class he wasn't a part of. And you bring up a perfect comparison with Thoreau and this 'return to nature' --which, isn't wrong--but missing a fundamental principle. So I would for sure agree (and I apologize if I misunderstood your comment, which I may have--as I am not completely with it today, haha).

The added clinical perspective is so fascinating
Excellent part 2 of this video! Keep them coming.
I will! And thank you for watching! =)

Thanks for stopping by! Glad you liked it! =)
Please do make a part 3! Makes me want to dig deeper on the genius of Goethe. Thank you!

This is an awesome series, its a tuition free university class!
Thank you for watching! =)
Fascinating as always, I do hope you make a part 3! Also, I find myself missing Stellar, will he make another appearance soon?

Excellent! I have never read this book, but your talks have definitely aroused my interest in it!
