About This Novel

At the beginning of this book, Benjamin admitted that what he was doing was criticism rather than commentary. "What criticism explores is the true connotation of works of art." He tried to reveal the dimension of meaning hidden in Goethe's works as real connotation. In his opinion, it started the trend of classicism, which tried to clarify not ethical and historical issues, but mythological and philological issues. What it thinks about is not the idea in the process of being generated, but the connotation that has been formed and contains life and language. These rich and complex levels are particularly prominent in Goethe's late works.
