Status Updates From Wilhelm Meister's Apprentic...

p.70/443. Book II, Chapter II (syncing with my other copy.)

p.38/443. Book I, Chapter XI.

I can’t wait for this book to be over. I’m too far in to stop, dagnabbit.

This has been dragging for awhile.

😑

Next time I read through Hamlet, I’ll have to revisit these few chapters. Willhelm manages to turn every conversation into a Hamlet book club discussion. 🤣

Wilhelm is going through his “I Just Discovered Shakespeare, and Now I’m Obsessed” Stage.

“Oftentimes a man, when approaching some development of his powers, capacities, and conceptions, gets into a perplexity, from which a prudent friend might deliver him.”

Oops. 🙊 Perplexity ahead, Wilhelm!!

“…how many circumstances may extort forgiveness for the greatest fault!”

Ohhhh! Carnival Folk!

This guy is so preoccupied with his lover. This can’t end well.

Chapter 11.

returning to.

note: book I, in chapter III.

(the table of contents of this downloaded edition lists 7 sub-books, footnotes, Burt’s home library , 250 volume... and the Alger series for boys. Perhaps vol.2 is the series for young future female executives and officer candidates...)

not sure if this is actually part 1 of 2 as it says or covers the whole novel.
