More precisely, Wilhelm can also be interpreted as being an invention that in fact represents the reader to whom Werther confesses. The connection is thus more personal and direct and enables the reader to be in contact with the main character.

Even so, there is a sense of relationship because Werther admires his qualities, although he is convinced that Albert will not make Lotte happy.
Throughout the evolution of these two pieces of literature, there are certain pressures these relationships are subjected to. In this sense, the relationship between Antonio and Bassanio, on the one hand, and that of Werther and Albert's on the other are faced with an evolutionary trend in their respective works. Antonio and Bassanio must go through the difficult task of saving Antonio's life when it is discovered that he had lost his ships at sea. Despite this pressure, Bassanio comes to his rescue to save his life. This represents a proof of the simplicity of their relation, based on honest, true feelings. The pressure of life and death is not relevant to change the equilibrium of their relation.
In the other case however, the relationship between Werther and Albert appears at the opposite corner.

Austere diets are also common, and after winning his final title and announcing his retirement from bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger celebrates with a meal of 'real food' for the first time in many months. The ascetic as well as aesthetic nature of the sport is also underlined in the way that Butler's subjects, Schwarzenegger in particular, also embody femininity, however unconsciously in their physical obsessions and movements.

" (Anderson, et al., 2003) The study reported by Roberts, Christenson and Gentile (2003) provided a summary of a study that is unpublished but that states findings of a "positive correlation between amount of MTV watching and physical fights among third- through fifth-grade children.
