| | GOETHE - LoveToKnow Article on GOETHE |
 | | Goethe had lost the thread of his romance and it was difficult for him to resume it. | | | Goethes hero changed with the authors riper experience and with his new conceptions of mans place and duties in the world, but the Gretchen tragedy was taken over into the finished poem, practically unaltered, from the earliest Faust of the Sturm und Drang. | | | Goethe could fill his prose with rich wisdom, but he was only the perfect artist in verse. |

| | The play, modeled on those of Shakespeare, is an adaptation of the story of a German robber knight of the 16th century; to his exploits Goethe gave the significance of a national German revolt against the authority exerted by the emperor and the church in the early part of the 16th century. | | | One was with Friederike Brion, the daughter of a pastor of the town of Sesenheim; she later was the model for feminine characters in several of Goethe’s works, including that of Gretchen in his poetic drama Faust. | | | According to the 19th-century English critic Matthew Arnold, Goethe must be considered not only “the manifest center of German literature” but one of the most versatile figures in all world literature. |

| | Goethe recast the traditional Faust legend and made it one of the greatest poetic and philosophic creations the world possesses. | | | Goethe knew French, English, Italian, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew and translated works by Diderot, Voltaire, Cellini, Byron, and others. | | | Among the lasting influences of Goethe’s youth were J. Rousseau and Spinoza, who appealed to Goethe’s mystic and poetic feeling for nature in its ever-changing aspects. |

| | Goethe's scientific interest in color was inspired by the natural optical phenomena and the coloristic traditions of Renaissance painting that he encountered during his first journey to Italy (1786-88). | | | Goethe was among the first to recognize the importance of this phenomenon, for which no account is given in Newton's theory. | | | Goethe regarded that mixing as the true explanation of Newton's observation that a red square, viewed through a prism against a black background, appears displaced slightly higher than a blue one, as seen in the upper right of figure 3. |

| | He was fascinated by minerals and early mineralogy (the mineral goethite is named for him). | | | The next work, his epic closet drama Faust, was to be completed in stages, and only published in its entirety after Goethe's death. | | | Later, a facet of its plot, "selling one's soul to the devil" for power over the physical world, took on increasing literary importance and became a view of the victory of technology and of industrialism, along with its dubious human expense. |

| | Goethe was no longer imitating Shakespeare but had absorbed him into a new dramatic form of his own making. | | | This undertaking is possible only on the basis of Goethe's extensive learning, his ability to absorb and recreate literary styles, and his understanding of the nature of allegory, a mode of writing that had been virtually lost in the eighteenth century. | | | The French Revolution was the one political event that necessarily impinged on Goethe's life, not only because it was a topic of constant interest in all circles but also because the duke, who had entered the Prussian army, insisted that Goethe accompany him on campaigns to France in 1792 and to the Rhine in 1793. |

| | Faust Study Questions |
| | Goethe repeatedly emphasizes that Faust is not seduced into evil by Mephistopheles: he is already drawn to it, and tries to make the Devil his tool. | | | The character of Gretchen was inspired in the first place by a real-life story Goethe had heard of a young woman who was seduced and abandoned, who killed her illegitimate child, was condemned to death, and whose repentant lover joined her in prison to share her fate. | | | Goethe here blends that story with a traditional tale of a young woman who persisted in wearing a velvet band around her neck night and day. |

| | Faust |
| | As is presented in his Fairy Tale, for Goethe the initial problem of humanity lay in its inability to relate to the feminine component of its nature. | | | Goethe wrote Faust over a period of nearly sixty years, and the struggle he had with this material shows in the seeming incoherence of the second part of the drama. | | | In my Commentary to Goethe's Fairy Tale, I showed something of how Goethe, who had early in his life extensively studied alchemical literature, was able to fashion an elaborate alchemical allegory. |

| | This year marks the 250th birthday of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the greatest of all German writers and poets and one of the giants of world literature. | | | It was during this last phase of his life when Goethe, in a conversation recorded by one of his devotees, Johann Peter Eckermann, made the following remarks concerning the relationship between political particularism (Kleinstaaterei) and culture. | | | Carl-August and Goethe rode, hunted, and caroused together, and in the year following his arrival in Weimar, Goethe was appointed by Carl-August to his four-member Privy Council, becoming his second most highly paid servant (with a rather modest salary of 1,200 Taler per annum). |
