Imagine Werther with vampires

Breakfast conversation, lightly paraphrased because memory is an illusion:
Me: "You know what was nominated for Yuletide? "Die Leiden des jungen Werther" (The Sorrows of Young Werther.)
DD: "Oh god. We had to read it in high school and for me it's like Twilight, except without vampires, for the youth of back then."
Me, cracking up: "It is! Please tell me I can quote you on that."
DD: "It is like Twilight! Just over 200 years ago, and I'm 100% sure that less people killed themselves over Twilight."
DD, a little later: "Also, nobody calls Twilight a literary masterpiece. People react differently to someone saying their favorite book is "Die Leiden des jungen Werther" or "Twilight." At least admit that you like tragic, over-indulgent threesomes! (See how impacted I was by having to read this twenty years ago? I still get worked up over it.)"
DD, a little later, after learning from Wikipedia-via-me that Napoleon was a big fan of "Werther": "Napoleon would have liked Twilight."
DD, even later, seeing the actual nomination in the tag set: "Even the title "Twilight" is cooler."
