He records how, on one such occasion, when part of the ghetto burned down, he helped to quench the flames while other youngsters jeered at the hapless Jews. Goethe even planned a novel in which seven brothers and sisters were to correspond in seven languages, including Judendeutsch ; a surviving Judenpredigt written in that dialect has been dated on 1768. In 1771 he reviewed Gedichte eines polnischen Juden . He thought very highly of the poetic quality of the Hebrew bible; his own translation of the Song of Songs (1775) proves his knowledge of the original text.

The Scientists: Goethe. blupete's Biographies A short discussion on the life and work of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (17491832). http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Science/Goethe.htm
Extractions: It is difficult to know where to place Goethe: he was a German writer, the leader of the German Romantic movement; he was a philosopher; but, foremost, he was a scientist; and, so, I place him here, in these pages, amongst the other classic scientists. As a scientist, Goethe carried on extensive research, especially in plant biology and in optics writing "On the Theory Colors, 1810." Goethe looked at things in a different manner, different than those thinkers up to his time; "he always attempted to see the individual phenomenon as part of an organic, developing whole ..." ( Benet's ). During the span between 1775 and 1786 (1786 being when he left for his two year sojourn in Italy), while in Weimar, he and Charlotte von Stein took up with one another. Stein was a woman Goethe worshiped for a decade; there was not much romance; it was a "spiritual companionship." Upon Goethe's return from Italy, where he had experienced a "sensual awakening," he was soon to learn "he and Charlotte had little in common." The "theme of renunciation, which is extremely important in all Goethe's later works, is largely based on his experience with Charlotte." He turned to poetry to describe his way. It was in his poem "Prometheus," (written 1774?) we see what was to become a motto for a whole new movement ("Weimar Classicism," or "German Romanticism"), "man must believe not in gods but in himself alone." (Contra: "... all truth comes from God ... God speaks by and through everything. Every insect, every leaf has something to say." [
Faust Essay on alchemical aspects of Faust (focused on Part 2), by Adam McLean. http://www.levity.com/alchemy/faust.html
Extractions: of Goethe's Faust Goethe's Faust is rarely performed in the English theatre. The work is too arcane and often disturbs and confuses its audiences, also the stage effects, particularly the transformation scenes in Part II, are so difficult to stage convincingly, that it is no surprise that directors and theatrical managers steer clear of this classic work. However, the recent production of the two parts of Goethe's Faust at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith tackled the work energetically and did not shy away from stressing its alchemical facets. The alchemy in Goethe's Faust is central to its dramatic conception, and is not merely added for effect. For Goethe's working of the Faust story differs from other dramas based on the archetypal legend of a conjuror who sells his soul to the devil, sealing his pact with a drop of blood, ultimately to suffer the fires of Hell, in that Goethe reveals through his drama various transformational processes working in the human soul, personified in Faust. Goethe struggles to weave the personal inner journey of Faust towards some enlightenment, together with the collective social forces that are undergoing transformation through the historical process, so here Faust is also a representative of Northern European humanity striving for evolution from the limitations and strictures of the 16th century Reformation to the new aspirations of humanity that Goethe saw developing during the 18th century Enlightenment era.

Faust Study Questions Overview, illustrations, study questions. http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/hum_303/faust.html
Extractions: Using this Guide List of other study guides Note: This study guide is based on the translation of Walter Kaufmann titled Goethe's Faust (Anchor Books) which omits most of Part II. This work is rich in wonderful contradictions and conflicts. Faust: A Tragedy is the title given his masterpiece by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Yet it might almost as easily be described as a musical comedy, in that it has many comic passages, features many songs, and lacks a tragic ending. Faust himself is not a classic tragic figure either. In fact, his characteristic yearning for experience and knowledge created a type for the romantic age still known as the Faustian hero, though he can easily seem more of a villain than a hero; and the purported villainMephistophelesis one of the most likable characters in the play. His yearnings draw him toward the heavens, yet he is also powerfully attracted to the physical world. The book was designed to be read rather than performed, yet many scenes are wonderfully designed for effective stage presentation. It is useless to try to figure out what the "real" point of
