For this prewriting activity, select one specific example of a place in The Sorrows of Young Werther where we see how people are constrained in their lives. Locate/identify your example (what is happening, where does this occur in the text?) and then spend some time thinking about why/how this character is constrained. Is this a societal or a personal lack of freedom? What do you think has caused this lack of freedom (social conventions, economic status, gender, something else, or more than one of these things)? How does Goethe use this moment as social critique? What is he critiquing here, and how? What, if any, alternatives or solutions does the novel suggest? Do you see similar constraints in our society today? Why or why not? This is a free-ranging discussion, so fee free to follow your line of thinking where it takes you. But make sure that your thinking is grounded in the novel, and more specifically, in the example you chose. Aim to include some direct quotes to support your thinking.
