Faust, First Part (Goethe's Faust #1)
Faust to dzieło życia Goethego, dramat o możliwościach ludzkiego poznania i sensie istnienia świata.
What is Faust? To me, there is no answer to that question. Faust evades description and assignment. It is many things at once: pure poetry, closet play, classical tragedy, and even comedy. It is irreverent to its own material, changing in focus and mood at whim. Goethe shamelessly cuts into the most dramatic moments of the Gretchen tragedy to include completely spurious epigrams. At a glance, the wager between Faust and Mephistopheles seems almost tacked on to the parts dealing with his
Not since watching Breaking Bad have I been so enthralled by a man's descent into depravity.
Boythis is very dramatic, isnt it?
This is not a review.I cannot attempt to write a review of Goethe's Faust. It is a much too personal experience, growing with each time I reread it. Since high school, I have been thinking at least five times: "This is the perfect Goethe moment, his work is written for ME, NOW, it can't get any better, deeper, or any more satisfying."Well, apparently it can. After maybe three or four years, I picked up Faust again, and found that I had finally grown up enough to identify with his most famous
This was assigned reading for university. I was quite confused and disconnected from the play as I read it. Although I did understand and could follow what was happening, I was lost as to the relevance of the play. I did not enjoy reading it. But then I continued on to analysing the play and studying it - and there was where I discovered its worth, the themes it discusses and could appreciate the wit and aim of the play more. But it still couldn't be counted as an enjoyable or very enlightening

When I was reading Ulysses, I thought Circe chapter was crazy and wondered why Joyce immersed himself as much into creating that play like chapter. Older plays aren't as dramatic, are they? But now I understand why. Because this was insane.I debated for so long during my reading time whether to give this one or two stars. At the end, I decided it was worth two. It isn't the worst book I've ever read, but I definitely didn't enjoyed it. So what exactly made me raise my rating? I have to say thatWhat is Faust? To me, there is no answer to that question.
