    --------------------------------------
    By the end of this episode, you will learn everything about Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe’s famous play, Faust.
    Faust is considered to be the best work of German literature and Goethe’s most impressive composition. It is entirely in rhymed verse, and through the years, it has been performed on countless occasions both internationally and in Germany.
    Faust was first composed between 1772 and 1775 under the title of Urfaust. Later, Goethe developed it into two plays and finished its final version in 1831 and just one year before his death.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    11:25 The five unholy siblings are also famous as The Four Hags who were ominous spirits who materialized in the form of old women and warned Faust about the upcoming arrival of the fifth ghost named death.

    In America we have our own version of Faust.
    " The Legend of Robert Johnson"
    He was a talentless black man from Mississippi that couldn't read, write, sing or play guitar. Yet somehow he made a career as a famous blues musician overnight.
    According to legend he met the devil at some dusty cross roads and sold his soul for blues fame.

    Man, the stage adaptation I saw years ago really failed to convey like half of the story of Faust. Either that adaptation ended with Faust actually being condemned and being taken to hell by Mephistopheles, or again the writing and performance did that poor a job of conveying the story (they seemed to use a lot of Shakespearean-style English so there were definitely whole conversations that were hard to understand).

    • @GreatBooksin10minutes
      @GreatBooksin10minutes  Рік тому +8

      There seems to be a common trend among directors that they think they know better than the author who wrote the actual masterpiece. There is also intentional dumbing down of the literature to appeal to everyone and because of that they lose the essence of the work and what has made it a masterpiece.

      Yeah, kind of like the masterpiece film 'Faust" that was a dumbed down and simplified version of 'Faust" as a literary masterpiece. I still did very much enjoy the film. It was made by F.W. Murnau in I believe 1926, or 1927 something around that time. I still do recommend it. It sounds like the stage adaptation you are talking about, but it is still worth it.

    • @GreatBooksin10minutes
      @GreatBooksin10minutes  2 місяці тому +2

      Marlowe's Faust and Goethe's both draw inspiration from the Faust legend, where a character makes a deal with the devil in exchange for knowledge and power.This is often referred to as the "Faustian bargain." They both feature a character named Mephistopheles, who acts as a sort of representative to the devil and misleads the main character. However, there are notable differences between these works. Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus" is a more traditional tragic play, while Goethe's "Faust" is a poetic work with elements of both Romantic and Enlightenment influences. Marlowe's play focuses on religious and moral themes, while Goethe's "Faust" explores a wider range of ideas, including existentialism and humanism, influenced by both Romantic and Enlightenment philosophies.

      Thank you for your comment. The name "Gretchen" itself is a diminutive form of "Margaret" in German. Just as Rick is a familiar or shortened form of the name Richard in English. Both Rick/Richard and Gretchen/Margaret represent different variations or forms of the same name used in different languages and cultures. In English "Margaret" is a more common name, and the translators likely made the change to maintain the spirit of the character's name while using a more recognizable form.

The ends do not justify the means, the bible records that Satan is the father of lies, and is a murderer and destroyer, to get into a relationship with him to justify helping others is to deny God's first requirement to humanity and that is to love Him first by not compromising with evil, that's why it is written: thou shalt have no other god's before me, and in another place you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind and strength and through this learn to love your neighbor as yourself but never does God tells us to work with Satan to accomplish good deeds.

      True. Although there are positive elements of faith present throughout the books, such as Margaret surrendering her fate to God instead of asking Mephistopheles for help or Faust gradually becoming aware of his mistskes and surviving damnation through service, The book should not be taken as a literal example of ideal Christian theology. Abrahamic religions, specially Christianity in this case, set boundaries between seeking power and finding enlightenment through faith, and specifically any action that would lead to gaining an unfair advantage over people is prohibited. I think Goethe's intention was to pin point the idea that God's wisdom and justice is bigger than our perception and no matter how guilty one might be , the gates of his kingdom is never shut, and through grace anyone could get saved, if grace is granted.
