(Johann Wolfgang) Goethe, Juan Wolfgango Hermann und Dorothea Wikipedia page about this book: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_und_Dorothea Produced by Michael Pullen, corrections by Andrew Sly "Hermann und Dorothea" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a narrative poem written in the early 19th century during the Weimar Classicism period. The work centers around the themes of love and the turmoil caused by war, primarily focusing on the character Hermann, a young man caught in the socio-political upheaval of his time, and his romantic interest, Dorothea, who becomes embroiled in the struggles faced by her community. The opening of the poem sets the stage in a town filled with apprehension and sorrow due to the war, as families are being uprooted from their homes. The local townspeople observe the devastation caused by the conflict, expressing a mix of curiosity and concern as refugees pass through their streets. Hermann emerges as a compassionate figure who decides to help these displaced persons by sharing provisions collected by his mother. His actions and internal conflict regarding his duty towards his homeland and his feelings for Dorothea lay the groundwork for a deeper exploration of his character throughout the poem. The emotional atmosphere is thick with both the tragedy of loss and the hope tethered to personal connections, setting a dramatic tone for the unfolding narrative.
