Jude the Obscure, Thomas Hardy's "most depressing" novel. A child uselessly pursues elementary studies in aspirations of scholarship. His dreams are crushed by the conception of his bastard. The joke is that a yokel like Jude never had even a chance of becoming a scholar.

Fritz Zorn - Mars

"I am young, rich and well-educated; and I am unhappy, neurotic and lonely. I come from one of the best families from the Right Bank of the Zurich lake, also known as the Golden Bank. I have had a bourgeois education and all my life I have been well-behaved. My family is passably degenerate, which is why I have without a doubt a heavy heredity and am damaged by my social environment. Naturally I also got cancer, which goes without saying if one considers everything I have just said".
