This was an interesting unintended companion read to The Idiot. There are many parallels between Werther and Prince Myshkin. They differ in their romantic dispositions (where Werther instead parallels Rogozhin) which reinforces the holiness of Myshkin's chastity. I wonder if Dostoevsky had this book in mind when he conceived of his beautiful man. I have more thoughts on this but only 420 characters to relate them..
