Comments on Faust 1 Faust is Goethe's masterpiece, which took him 60 years to write. The first part of Faust was completed in 1808 when the French army invaded, and the second part was completed in 183 1 August 3, 2008, at the age of 83. This immortal poetic drama. Taking German folklore as the theme and German and European society since the Renaissance as the background, this paper writes a story of a new bourgeois senior intellectual who is dissatisfied with reality and tries his best to explore the meaning of life and social dreams. It is a poetic drama that perfectly combines realism and romanticism.
Books are my favorite. I like reading some famous philosophical works, from which I can draw infinite strength. My friend introduced me to read Faust. I spent a week reading Goethe's classic works. When I finished reading Faust, there was an invisible force urging me to keep forging ahead and not stop pursuing.
Faust is a poetic drama with the length of1211line. The first film has twenty-five scenes and no curtain. The second part consists of five acts and twenty-seven scenes. There is no coherent plot in the whole play, but it is based on the development and change of Faust's thought. Faust went through five stages: study life, emotional life, political life, pursuit of classical beauty and making contributions. Faust's self-improvement, pursuit of truth, courage to practice and self-denial saved him from sinking and realized the value and dream of life. And the evil there has promoted it from the opposite side. Goethe's dialectical view of the relationship between good and evil is not absolute opposition, but interdependence and mutual transformation, which reveals the profound truth that human beings overcome their own contradictions and make continuous progress in the struggle against evil. This is clearly reflected in God's exposition at the beginning of the poetic drama, that is, good people must work hard to make progress so as not to lose their way, and also reflected in the lyrics sung by the angel at the end of the poetic drama: "Whoever strives for self-improvement will eventually be saved in our generation."
There is a good saying: "The scenery on the other side of the river is infinitely good." In other words, what you yearn for is often the most beautiful. However, it is this beautiful yearning that drives you to make continuous progress.
Centuries later, Faust was a fiction, but he has always lived in my heart. When I was tired, he seemed to urge: "Don't stop pursuing!"
Young Faust is a poet, young Faust loves beauty and women, young Faust is proud and full of vitality, and young Faust has various desires. We are all Faust in life, whether in poetic drama or outside poetic drama.
Faust 2 is a part of the immortal drama, with German folklore and Renaissance as its theme and German and European society as its background. It describes a new bourgeoisie's high dissatisfaction with reality and tries to explore the meaning of life and its social dreams.
First, the image of the protagonist Faust.
Read an assignment and analyze the characters in it. The main part of the play describes Faust, a self-improvement hero, who pursues truth, experiences vegetarian life, emotional life and political life, and pursues classical beauty and five elements. In these experiences, what we see is dissatisfaction with reality, constant exploration of the truth of life and constant pursuit of people. His image can be said to be an advanced bourgeois intellectual in Germany in the18th century, a typical representative of his exploration and a symbol of the development of European bourgeois spirit in the art history. It was revived to the beginning of19th century. Faust's appearance directly described his doubts and denials of the so-called knowledge, doubt, philosophy, precedent, medicine and theology at that time. I've studied all these, and I'm still an idiot, so I don't need to have the slightest smartness. However, after reading his head, we know that his wisdom is by no means what he said. In his time, he was a real scholar, modest and knowledgeable. However, when his pursuit and dreams were dim, he was old, and he still had the enthusiasm and impulse of young people. The Easter bell pulled him back to the line of death. Based on the understanding of the devil, we can imagine the courage and strength of the devil's bet, which is definitely a challenge to self, a strong resistance to social dissatisfaction, and an extreme spirit of self-explosion.
However, we say that man is a complex animal, which is reflected in the diversity of personality. We should also see his tragic negativity and acknowledge Faust's outstanding brilliance. Perhaps part of Faust's greed and depravity is due to festo's temptation, but the development of things is often decisive. For example, the tragedy of Margaret in the play is enough to illustrate this point. From the perspective of Faust's motivation and process towards Margaret, I always think that he is mainly driven by desire, because their beliefs are very different, and Faust almost always answers Margaret Ritter with sweet words or vows. They are really two of a kind, so their red carpets are piled up, and their feelings are only three times as hot, and there is no long-term protection. 2 1 century, due to different beliefs, my husband and wife separated. In the era of absolute faith, this is not uncommon, nor is it the least important. The whole process of luxury Faust is only as an accomplice of Faust, creating opportunities and material support for him. Faust is the kind of lock that is put around Margaret's neck. My father-in-law locks it tighter and tighter, and finally returns to death. Although he deeply regretted it, it didn't help. The relationship between Faust and Margaret is skeptical about Helen's constant appearance and deepening. The fourth act of Faust and Helen's play is also glue, and life and death are intertwined. Many scholars combine Goethe's era, Helen is the embodiment of medieval classical beauty, and the natural beauty combined by Faust and Helen is the pursuit of beauty. In fact, American Faust poets have unique observation and worship of love. But from the story, if his love for Helen is loyal, it is because of her death and Margaret's death. In addition to Faust's emotional view, he also has a bourgeois indifference. For example, in the hotel scene of Auerbach wine cellar, the extravagant festo mocked and hurt the drunken drunkard, and stood beside him without responding. In short, you need to explore his body bit by bit.
Second, the relationship between Faust and the devil.
In poetry and drama, I always think that there is a subtle relationship between Faust and festo, not only because of their gambling, but sometimes I even think Faust is extravagant, and the extravagant Faust is supported by Faust in some scenes. Song of the Devil festo has made a historic leap. He is no longer such a simple concept as brain, physical development or three-headed monster. He knows the abyss of Faust, and he is familiar with the clever use of astronomy, geography, philosophy and psychology. I think some parts of him are also Faust's rebellion and pursuit. In Prelude to Heaven, he dared to bet the devil and God. As an embodiment of evil and a negative spirit, he shamelessly blasphemed and satirized the gradual decline of sacred things in various periods. I think he is the only one who has always insisted on rationality, always surrendering to the world unconsciously, laughing at the hypocrisy of the church, the court, the dogma in the university, and the death of romantic poetry. For example, in the scene of Aauto Quicker, he always seems to be a very logical person, but in fact he is against madness and laughs at the school. Firstly, the author expounds the multiplicity of Faust psychology. In a sense, Faust's inner conflict is also the internalization of his conflict with festivals, and his conflict with Faust is also the externalization of his inner conflict. Although poetry and drama are only the beginning of the masses, and the devil Vladimir used to be Faust's servant, from the reader's point of view, the contradiction between them is self-evident. Internalizing Ye Hao, apart from the embodiment worth mentioning, the relationship between them is by no means as simple as temptation and being tempted. Faust's future is full of crises, and he may become the slave of the devil at any time. Escape Festival is the father of all obstacles and evil incarnations. However, Faust, who constantly pursues self-improvement, not only sinks into death, but also realizes the value of life and dreams. Evil comes from negative drama, but often good things will become the driving force.
Third, rich philosophical connotation.
In drama, the author can often see some philosophical statements and some philosophical debates. For example, the debate between Taylor and Prut about the origin of the world is typical, and it is also a direct reflection of Goethe's world, which is closely related to the strong philosophical atmosphere at that time, but it greatly increases the author's reading difficulty. However, some sentences related to our inspired philosophy of life are also great. Demons are often used to play such a leading role.
After reading Faust, I began to read Faust. Carefully scrutinize the meaning of each sentence and read it for two hours before reading the preface, poem dedication, stage prelude and sky overture.
This book is difficult to understand. I have seen it once before, but when I was a sophomore, I liked to stay up late reading with a flashlight. I could watch it quietly for 2 or 3 hours every day, which was inefficient. I remember a long time ago, I read famous books just for the plot. Until now, I still have the idea that a story is not attractive enough, and I will not be interested in reading it no matter how profound it is. So, after all, I am not a child who loves reading.
This Faust is actually quite magical. First of all, its writing style is the form of stage script. Secondly, the story is imaginative and completely unconstrained. Third, the name "Goethe" can satisfy some vanity. Fourth, if you look at it, you will find that there are many deja vu views, viewpoints or scenes. So, although it is difficult, I still look forward to reading it again. I bought a book last summer vacation and have been shelved. When I decided to study recently, I decided to chew it down first.
At first, I liked to extract sentences that I thought were good when I read novels. Most of the things I like are not gorgeous and untidy, but only have a * * * sound with me in information and emotion. For example, reading Beethoven's books and exaggerating Beethoven into a sentence of God is my favorite sentence. Hehe, when I often look back at these excerpts, I feel very naive at that time. It takes 1 or 2 minutes to read a page, and sometimes it takes 5 minutes to copy a few words, so when I come back to read it, I often feel less energetic and hungry than before. So later, I began to change to a big leader's practice, making comments at the edge of the book, such as which sentence is good and what I think, or looking up a very literary word in the dictionary, and then writing pinyin and explanations at the edge of the book. Looks like this is not bad. But the disadvantage is that it's only suitable for me. I've been lazy since the book, and I haven't written anything. I used to read a book with a wooden pencil and draw it when I saw something I liked. As a result, because it was effortless, I took it off every time I moved a little, and even after reading a book, I found that every page was in a mess. Think about it all in RMB, and the possibility of seeing it later is basically zero. You can't really erase all the pencil marks with an eraser on a whim, can you? Oh, my poor book … and more importantly, after getting used to the process of reading and drawing, my understanding of information is no longer profound, because every sentence is "key", so why should I understand the connotation and structure of the article?
Therefore, when reading, there is less thinking.
Looking at this Faust in front of me, new problems have emerged. What I hate most is that half of a page is information and the other half is explanations in many small fonts. Usually, these explanations are associated with various biblical stories and Greek culture, which is a long list at first glance. In this case, you can't understand the author's meaning without reading it. It's really troublesome to interrupt your own thoughts after reading it. So I have to read all the explanations before reading each chapter and have a general impression. In this way, when I read the text, I can understand the information more smoothly, and I don't have to come back to read those disgusting comments.
Faust's Random Thoughts 4 Faust is a long poetic drama with German folklore as its theme, written by Goethe. This book not only brought me life experience, but also gave me a lot of life insights.
Faust was written by johann wolfgang von goethe, a German poet, who was the first person to propose the establishment of world literature on the basis of literary exchanges among various nationalities. He hopes to combine the rationality of modern science with the sensibility of ancient Greek aesthetics and create a perfect aesthetic concept that conforms to the social environment at that time. He thinks that the difference between classicism and romanticism is the difference between reality and ideal, and advocates the combination of romanticism and classicism. He is a "rebel" who pursues freedom and keeps making progress. Faust's book perfectly embodies the author's heart.
This poetic drama is based on German folklore and the social background of Germany and Europe since the Renaissance. It started with a dialogue between God and the devil. The devil thinks that human beings created by God are selfish and greedy, have no enterprising spirit, and only seek pleasure, so there should be no human beings. But God thinks that human beings are kind. For example, Faust, the most outstanding human being, is a typical example of initiative. So God made a bet with the devil and let the devil lead Faust astray. So Faust's life experience experienced the pursuit of love and beauty, and finally embarked on the road of social practice. Among the contents of the article, my favorite is Wapkis Festival. The joy of the Pukies Festival is more intoxicating than the intrigue in the article.
A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets. In my mind, Faust is knowledgeable and wise. He is knowledgeable and has a long reputation, but he is still thinking and learning. He made progress all his life, doing things for the benefit of mankind until his death. I recommend this book to you, because I was moved by the famous Mystery of Faust and the Faust spirit in the face of this dilemma. Faust made me understand that human progress lies in continuous learning, and people should not be satisfied with the status quo, but should make continuous progress. I hope everyone will read this book. It will definitely benefit you a lot.
Finally, I end my article with a sentence: the brilliant achievements of mankind are nothing more than enterprising, pursuing and forging ahead.
After reading Faust, 1773 began to write, and 1808 was published. The second book, 1832, was completed before death and published after death. Spanning 60 years in the middle, it took him a lifetime of hard work.
Faust is the most obscure book I have ever read. It took me more than two months, but I just glanced at it.
Faust is the most important masterpiece of Goethe, a great poet, writer and thinker. It ranks alongside Homer's Iliad, Dante's Divine Comedy and Shakespeare's Hamlet as the four classic novels of European literature. Faust, the hero, is a figure in German history books and folklore in the16th century. He is familiar with divination, astrology, witchcraft and alchemy. In Faust, Goethe successfully created the images of Faust and the devil mephistopheles according to this folk story, and showed a bourgeois spiritual life history in the rising period of capitalism.
The image of Faust embodies Goethe's profound insight and grasp of human nature and human spiritual connotation and realm. The duality of Faust's character puts him between God and the devil. He is both a god and a devil. If he constantly pursues knowledge and truth, beautiful things and lofty dreams, he will rise to the spiritual realm; If he is greedy for pleasure, has no ambition, does nothing, indulges in it and can't wake up, he will fall into the magic road and go to depravity. Goethe thinks that the double gravity of destruction and enterprising is not equal to Faust, and his divinity is stronger than that of the devil. His essential and dominant aspect is self-improvement, vigorous progress, never satisfaction and continuous progress, which is the so-called "Faust spirit".
However, Goethe did not underestimate the role of demonism in Faust's pursuit. Goethe first admitted that the evil of human nature can only be temporarily overcome, but not permanently eradicated, because it can be tolerated. In fact, the word of God in Faust tells the wisdom maxim that Goethe realized: "If people struggle, mistakes are inevitable." Goethe also saw that magic and divinity are opposites, so it is absolutely necessary. Faust's life is a process of contradictory struggle between divinity and magic. His enterprising spirit and insatiable spirit are the internal driving force of his rise. Mephistopheles used Faust's magic to tempt him to fall. However, Faust's divinity enabled him to learn lessons and constantly overcome the influence of evil. It is in this dialectical development that Faust's spiritual connotation is getting deeper and deeper and his realm is getting higher and higher.
Faust's ending is bright. Faust shouted, "You are so beautiful, please stay a little longer!" On the surface, he is satisfied and ready to enjoy it. Mephistopheles wanted to take away his soul, but God sent an angel to take Faust's soul to heaven, because "whoever strives for self-improvement will eventually be saved in our generation", which is a gift from God, and God greatly appreciates it. In that case, why is Faust still regarded as a tragedy? This is mainly because Goethe believes that there is no end to human pursuit of perfection, but individual life is limited. Faust was given two lives, and this time life is still limited, so it is impossible to achieve the ultimate goal. The five stages of his exploration are far from exhausting the spiritual life of mankind.
People's spirit is easy to slack off and covet comfort, so God created the devil to awaken people to forge ahead. For Faust, the devil is not only a tempter, but also plays a role of supervision and warning. This is what the devil means when he says that I "always want to do evil but always preach good, and I am part of this power". Subjectively, he lured Faust to fall, but objectively, he played a role in pushing Faust forward. In this sense, we can say that mephistopheles is another externalized form of self in Faust, or that mephistopheles and Faust constitute the duality of human nature, even the duality of God. In a word, the two complement each other and help each other, which makes nature perfect.
When we realize our sins, we have actually become angels.
Faust is a famous poetic drama by the German writer Goethe. It tells us the story of a German man who is never satisfied with the status quo and always strives for self-improvement. His life is painful and tortuous, but he is brave, heroic and tragic.
The story goes like this: God made a bet with the devil Mephius. Mephisto fellers lured Faust to see if he would give up his lofty pursuit of self, abandon good and evil, and become a captive of the devil. With the help of the devil, Faust regained his youth and traveled around the world and heaven. He experienced the love between men and women, the dignitaries in the court and the pursuit and enjoyment of beauty represented by ancient Greek art, but he failed to get spiritual satisfaction. Finally, in the cause of conquering nature and seeking welfare for the public, the old and blind hero found his spiritual home. I said the sentence that decided the outcome of the bet, and then my soul went to heaven.
I think Goethe lived in the same society at that time. Goethe constantly pursued the truth in the study of literature, painting and natural science, ran around with his heart in the fierce and sudden movement in Germany, and further deepened his understanding in the failure of the movement, thus reaching the height and depth of his thoughts.
Maybe we can't fully understand the darkness and feudalism, decay and sin of the society at that time, but we can feel it from this book, this small society.
People say that hell is the dirtiest, but Goethe says that human society is dirtier and more decadent than hell. It can be said that the world is a purgatory, a region full of evil.
Perpetrators and hypocrites have unlimited scenery on the surface, but they are really scared! In the dark, the eyes are bright, the original sin is exposed, and the desire is exposed. Listen! Merciful God Song, look! Tears of all beings. How many World War II war criminals escaped the death penalty but their souls were tortured for life, and what they dreamed at midnight was a corpse and a miserable death call; Some corrupt officials who are lucky enough to escape are often separated from their relatives all over the country, fearing to be caught in the pot and homesick; According to the religious concept, the above evil deeds are enough to go to eighteen levels of hell. The lightest thing is to pull out your tongue, and the heaviest thing is a knife saw.
Heaven and hell are in your mind. There is an old saying in China, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha in purgatory, which symbolizes suffering and repentance. Heaven symbolizes redemption, which is the eternal theme of Christianity. Confession in purgatory refers to one thought, good thoughts and evil thoughts, heaven and hell.
See the glory of heaven, and your dream will come true! The evil spirits of hell wailed again, which made me feel sad and scared, dragging my feet to sink me, but I longed for free flight and the morning light of heaven.
Finally, in the great struggle to benefit mankind and conquer nature, Faust felt the greatest satisfaction and got the final answer of wisdom. Faust's final answer is undoubtedly intentional, but it has the nature of fantasy. Simply transforming nature without transforming society can only be an illusion in the end. : I want to be brave in the tide of the times, and I want to jump on the wheel of the times; I don't ask about success or failure. Men's jobs should be all-weather.
Faust Reflection 7 This is where Faust impressed me, and it is also a summary of the development of Faust's character "affirmation", "goodness", "negation" and "evil".
Faust is regarded as one of the four classic novels of European classical literature. It is a poetic drama, divided into two parts, with more than 12 thousand lines. Faust was originally a character in German folktales in16th century. Legend has it that Faust was a warlock who pursued worldly pleasures and sold his soul to the devil. Goethe used this theme to portray Faust as an advanced German intellectual. The work describes Faust's life course from the small world of study and civil society to the political and historical stage, which has gone through five stages: seeking knowledge, emotional life, political life, artistic life and transforming nature, thus summing up the poet's life experience and the spiritual exploration history of bourgeois intellectuals since the Renaissance.
Faust is a fictional symbolic image. But he has a distinct personality, that is, the spirit of never being satisfied, constantly pursuing and constantly exploring. His heart is full of contradictions: on the one hand, he satisfies the status quo and enjoys worldly happiness, on the other hand, he constantly pursues higher ideals. He has been confused and made mistakes in his life, but because of constant self-improvement, he can keep moving forward, and finally he can find the answer to the truth of life, be a "person who struggles for progress and survival every day", be taken to heaven by an angel, and meet the Virgin. The devil did evil in the poetic drama and lured Faust to fall, but actually promoted Faust's progress and growth. To paraphrase Socrates, if Faust is a horse, then the devil is sent to this world, just like the gadfly on horseback, and its duty is to stimulate it to move forward quickly. It was he who helped Faust get out of his study and devote himself to real life. At the same time, he urged Faust to overcome his mistakes and explore progress. The devil actually became Faust's inseparable companion on his way forward.
Goethe's creative process lasted for sixty years. He conceived this poem when he was young and didn't finish it until shortly before his death. It can be said that this is a pursuit in itself, a tireless pursuit of literature. It was this pursuit that made Goethe constantly learn new things and explore new problems in his later years. Faust is the best test of the results brought by this pursuit. It can be said that this pursuit has made Faust enduring for hundreds of years.
The process of life is a process of constant pursuit, so that one's life height can be improved in the process of constant pursuit. Everyone will encounter all kinds of unavoidable problems in the process of pursuing life, so it is necessary to choose. The character of continuous pursuit, self-improvement, courage to practice and self-denial will keep them from sinking and realize the value and ideal of life.
Maybe not everyone is Faust, but everyone can't lack Faust's perseverance, love life and find his own life.
