Oh, brother

February 22, 2011 Jordana

It’s paper-gradin’ time, and in honor thereof, a student quote … but first, a little background. The assignment was to read excerpts from Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther alongside a plot outline of the story by Lewy Olfson.

The question: “What are the most important motivations in The Sorrow of Young Werther, from the perspectives of Werther and Olfson?”

The student’s answer: “[Werther’s] motivation turns to spending as much time with [Lotte] as possible. Olfson’s motivate [sic] was to outline the plot for the story.”
