Faust

Faust is a poetic tragedy written by the great German poet, Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832). It was created based on the folklore of the 16th century. It describes the protagonist Faust's painful experience of searching for truth throughout his life, reflects the history of the entire Europe from the Renaissance to the early 19th century, and reminds the constant struggle between the two forces of light and darkness, progress and backwardness, science and superstition. The dedication says that you have brought joyful scenes of happy times, just like an ancient legend that has gradually faded away.

If "The Sorrows of Young Werther" expresses Goethe's teenage thoughts, then "Faust" is more like Goethe who has reached a more mature stage of life and faces a lonely exploration of intellectual confusion. In the book, he transformed into Dr. Faustus, who did not hesitate to trade souls with Mephisto, experienced various explorations personally, and finally understood that the true meaning of life is to experience life and pursue freedom. Faust is also a symbol of most people in the real world. People will always be confused about the meaning of survival at a certain moment, and must go through some experiences before they can regain their lives.

When the erudite cannot come into contact with the alien species of imagination, delirium will burst out like water. The elves surround Faust, but the earth spirit despises him. Once the soul is only cleansed by the goddess of day, it will inevitably lead to the visit of night. Faust Flying Among the Stars is the original Faust, full of Goethe's romantic spirit. Although romance and reality, the twin twins of the Renaissance, seem to have been abruptly divided into two parts, they have always been one body of Western art. The tragedy of Dr. Faustus may be a foggy fantasy, visible but not clear, especially in an era when the tree of art is withering. The ancient yellow light of the predecessors' theories enchants people, and the dreamers are even more happy. The same is true for Faust. Praying for life in the dry sea of ​​theory will eventually end up in nothingness. The colors woven by Greek mythology are used to ridicule the impurity of the world, the king shows the empty nature of the King of Fools, Faust is seduced by the devil, the playwright Goethe is seduced by the worldly Mephistopheles, and his genius is wasted. The so-called sixty years of creation are just a ridiculous waste. Theory makes Mephistopheles lament how gray it is, but life makes people sink into cowardice.

It may be strange to say it, but watching Faust and Mephisto feels like watching Nobita and Doraemon...

Knowledge, wealth, status, and power will eventually turn into nothingness. Endless desire locks people in a cage, and only love and beauty can bring real relief. So the symbol of love and beauty: the eternal feminine (an abstract concept) can lead us upward.

"It is the reflection of all life and the solution of other problems." This is the evaluation of "Faust" by the famous philosopher Zong Baihua. As Goethe's masterpiece, this book is a poetic drama. The author uses beautiful and concise writing to weave an imaginative time-travel story for readers. After reading this book, we will have a higher level of thinking about life, suffering, desire, devil, etc., And we will also learn more about what Faust did.

In order to seek the meaning of life, a doctor sold his soul to get help from the devil. After going through many life experiences, in the last days of his life, he fought against nature to fight for his own life and freedom. Every day of our lives needs to be spent very seriously. Every day cannot be wasted in vain. What you want to do must be done immediately. You must seize the opportunity in time and not let it go. If you persist to the end, you will make your own achievements. However, the prerequisite for hard work is to know your goals.

There is a small problem. After the book layout is updated, all the previous notes cannot be redirected to the correct position. Does anyone know how to solve it?

After reading and commenting, I roughly understand what the "Faustian spirit" is, but to be honest, I prefer the image of Mephisto. This may not be in line with traditional morality, but everyone has their own pursuits. For Faust, I can't actually get his so-called ideal, but I can understand that his "greed" is not only the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, but also a kind of "greed" that desires to realize the pursuit of ideals. But the devil's ideas are more in line with my personal outlook on life and values. I also think some of the devil's verbal descriptions are humorous and cute. Maybe Goethe himself didn't realize it when he was writing. I have to say that this work spanning sixty years covers the entire history of Europe. It is huge, classical, and philosophical. It is worthy of Goethe...

The book "Faust" particularly resonates with me. Faust in the book works hard for his dreams, which reminds me of my own experience of fighting for life and freedom. We are all searching for the meaning of life, and sometimes we encounter setbacks, but it is these experiences that make us grow. I hate Mephisto, the devil in the book, who always tempts Faustus to go down the wrong path. However, this also taught me that I need to be vigilant in life and not be swayed by temptation. All in all, this is a very in-depth book and worth reading.

I finally finished reading it, and I really admire my own patience! Because I don't really like books on this subject, the mixture of poetry and opera reminded me of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". If Jung hadn't strongly recommended it in "The Autobiography of Jung", I wouldn't have been curious enough to open this book. The whole book revolves around the devil who made a bet to find Faust and take him to experience worldly things such as love and power. Faust's experience felt a bit like "Siddhartha" to me. After being bored and pursuing nothing in the world, he had to experience it for himself before he could "nirvana". Friends who like poetry and opera themes can try it out.

The plot of this book is the least important part. The words of the devil and angels are full of explanations and understanding of the laws of the world.

It is best to use different fonts for characters, introductions and poems.

It's very good. When you read it with the annotations, you can appreciate its depth. It uses a variety of descriptive techniques to express its emotions. The content is rigorous and the logic is tight. There is just something wrong with the translation, something is not quite right.

Very well written and beautiful

It's beautiful, a little difficult to understand, but Goethe's language is really charming

I'm going to write a parody of him

When I first saw the content in the book, I thought it was a beautiful philosophical phonological poem.

Faust is a spirit and a crisis. He is a model of humanistic ideals and an expansionary and destructive invisible factor in modern Western spiritual representations.

It's so beautiful. This book is a complete discussion of people. It's so interesting [Love]

Take a closer look, there are benefits.

Very interesting, worth watching again and again

A work of great depth

I don't quite understand it, but there are a few paragraphs that are quite good.
