Werther was an "attention whore".

When we were discussing The Sorrows of Young Werther today in class all I could think of was how much I disliked Werther. Overall, I really enjoyed the book but Werther was such an annoying character. I think I disliked him so much because he reminds me of a lot of people I know. People that society would label attention whores. Werther cared far too much about how society felt and tried to deflect that by claiming that he was anti-society. Do you agree with this idea?

If you've got time check out this video I made. I talk about some of the things we have done in English class. I even read one of Petrarch's poems. Click here for the video.
