Problem:This man was described as a "philosopher of multiplicity" in the final section of Emerson's Representative Men. He poetically accused Friedrich Nicolai of defecating on the grave of one of his characters, while another of his characters visits an inn which bears the motto "ubi homines sunt, modi sunt" and travels to the Pedagogical Province with his son Felix. That character puts on a performance of Hamlet before joining the (*) Tower Society in the first novel this man wrote about him. He also wrote a novel whose protagonist is buried under a linden tree after an awkward nighttime reading of Ossian prompts him to shoot himself in order to assure Albert and Lotte's happiness. For 10 points, name this creator of Wilhelm Meister, the German author of The Sorrows of Young Werther and Faust.
