The tragic story of a young burgher, who could not find an answer to his feelings and rejected by society, was instantly translated into other languages and gave rise to a series of sequels and imitations – the so-called Verterian. Over time, „Werther, the rebellious martyr" became one of the „eternal images" of world literature and introduced the sociopsychological phenomenon of „verterism" into European culture, associated with the melancholic mentality and the problem of suicide as the highest manifestation of free will.
