What reading level is The Sorrows of Young Werther book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Theambition of rank! How they watch, how they toil, to gain precedence!What poor and contemptible passions are displayed in their utternakedness! We have a woman here, for example, who never ceases toentertain the company with accounts of her family and her estates. Anystranger would consider her a silly being, whose head was turned byher pretensions to rank and property; but she is in reality evenmore ridiculous, the daughter of a mere magistrate's clerk from thisneighbourhood. I cannot unders...tand how human beings can so debasethemselves.
Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others byourselves; and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart isin such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursuetheir own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.
What provokes me most is the unhappy extent to which distinctions ofrank are carried. I know perfectly well how necessary are inequalitiesof condition, and I am sensible of the advantages I myself derivetherefrom; but I would not have these institutions prove a barrier tothe small chance of happiness which I may enjoy on this earth.
