is awriting style that focuses on ordinary people and their day to day lives. Many realists and realism were inspired by the enlightenment and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe had a lot of realism in his stories. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the author of “The Erl-King,” was a famous romanticist writer who left a legacy behind him after death. Goethe created a variety of ballads, lyrics, poems, and more that shaped legacy, making him one of the leading writers in romanticism and realism of his time. In the

creature in Frankenstein, and it could be argued that it causes the creature’s suicide along with the many other suicides the book is accused of causing. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the creature reads The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This novel influences the creature’s thinking in both positive and negative ways. The two Gothic novels actually show a variety of similarities. In The Sorrows of Young Werther, the protagonist, Werther, reads The Odyssey and unconsciously imitates

the play’s central conflict between Prometheus and Jove; entertaining both Jove’s and Prometheus’ perspectives fleshes out the conflict in the play more thoroughly. Perspective, similarly, is essential to think about when discussing Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s poem “Prometheus,” considering Aeschylus’ play inspired the poem. The perspective of the speaker in this poem is therefore necessary to consider when deciphering meaning from the text. Although, the common reading of “Prometheus” places its

(Ireton 2017). Faust is transformed from what is a character of warning regarding the power of learning and knowledge to a character of a tragic hero who went too far in search of reason (Ireton 2017). As the character of Faust changes throughout time, Goethe transforms Faust from a traditional figure into a literary one portraying ideas of the Enlightenment. The Johann Spies 1587 chapbook represents the traditional version of Faust. This version was the revision of the first ever book written by an unknown

all times in hundreds and thousands of men” (Eckermann). Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a universal scholar, advocates for cosmopolitanism through aesthetics and world literature, as in his poem “Gingko Biloba.” Through the use of rhetorical questions and a metaphor of the Gingko Biloba, Goethe invites individuals and communities to adopt a holistic perspective of the world via cosmopolitanism to further societal progression. Goethe emphasizes that world literature is essential to be exposed to different

Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, German philosopher, poet, and dramatist was born in Marbach, Württemberg in 1759. From a young age Schiller proved to be very successful in Academia, and began writing plays while still attending military academy. Although talented, Schiller did not aspire to be a dramatist, in some of his personal memoirs he mentioned “I wanted only to be a clergyman-and have never got beyond the theatre!”(Pilling, 2005). In 1782 he was appointed theatre poet at the Mannheim

grab me until I read the lines “Half drew him in, half lured him in” that was when I realized that Goethe was talking about being lured in by a siren or a nixe. At first the poem speaks to me about love at first sight. That is what I pulled from it at the beginning but as I said above, that one line threw me into it being about a siren’s song. Luring you in until you get devoured and disappear. Did Goethe love someone that he would have disappeared with? The siren’s song is something anyone could get

While Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Breaking Bad,” and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the writer of Faust, were alive almost 200 years apart, the similarities in each story can mirror the ideas and concepts each, author or producer, trying to get across. Many television shows and film ideas are drawn from key historical writings, produce a spinoff of a specific story, or use similar ideas to help convey a fresh new story. Goethe’s Faust, for example has very similar ideas to those contemporary ideas

The entropy of the universe is constantly increasing; matter and energy naturally move to a more disordered, chaotic state. Macbeth and Dr. Faust, characters from William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust respectively, exist in similar worlds to ours, where nature becomes more chaotic. Both texts involve the supernatural; however, the supernatural is not separate from nature, but an extension or manifestation of it. In Macbeth the witches are the forces of nature personified

July 6 letter (Goethe, 41). No thought if this walk is private, if Lotte possibly just wants to walk with her friend and sister. He immediately assumes he is invited and wanted, another sign of his skewed view of Lotte’s affection for him. He thinks it is completely natural to join the women on their walk, never examining the idea that maybe he is going a bit overboard with his love for her. He states that “with a look full of love for him, she rushed into another room” (Goethe, 154). If she
