Brentano throws a snowball at Goethe

... that Goethe used his unrequited love to Maximiliane Brentano (both pictured) as inspiration for his novel The Sorrows of Young Werther? Source: [1]: "verliebte sich Goethe sofort in ihre Tochter", "In den „Leiden des jungen Werthers“ verschmolz er Maximiliane mit einer anderen frühen Geliebten zur dunkeläugigen, kinderlieben und charakterschönen „Lotte“."

- Comment: Other hook ideas welcome. As mother of Clemens Brentano and Bettina von Arnim, Maximiliane is "the mother of German Romanticism" but I don't want a hook focussing only on her children.

Page is long enough, was moved to mainspace recently enough, and QPQ is done. WP:EARWIG says "Violation Unlikely". Hook is interesting. I cannot read German, so I will assume good faith on the source. Overall, seems good to me! Di (they-them) (talk) 12:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
