Trivia / The Sorrows of Young Werther

• Fanwork Ban: Goethe disapproved of Friedrich Nicolai's alternate ending such that he wrote a very on-the-nose poem titled "Nicolai auf Werthers Grabe" ("Nicolai on Werther's grave") wherein a nameless fellow that is obviously supposed to be Nicolai literally shits on Werther's grave.
• Write What You Know: Charlotte was inspired (and obviously, named for) by a woman named Charlotte Buff that Goethe was in love with in his youth who he lost out to another man.
