Man kann mir erzählen, was man will, aber Goethe muss den zweiten Teil unter Drogeneinfluss geschrieben haben.
Fausto 1 y 2 son obras distintas completamentes, pero también demuestran esa metamorfosis del hombre en si mismo, como el tiempo y la edad terminan haciendo de uno mismo eso que representa, me parece una obra excelente en si, pero la segunda parte es súper pesada, es increíble como puede representar Goethe a las obras griegas en ese punto tan parecido y pesado, las rimas la fonética, es toda una obra impresionante, pero, creo q al leerla en castellano me doy cuenta que no puedo ver el todo de esta obra, igual dejaré para otro momento de mi vida capaz el aprender Aleman y leerla

I wanted to read Faust to be cool but I actually read it because it is cited in the opening lines of Master and Margarita - one of my all time faves.
When Mephisto was asked by Faust, "Well now, who are you then?" (“Nun gut, wer bist Du denn?”), he gave the well-known answer, "Part of that force that always wills the evil and always produces the good" (“Ein Teil von jener Kraft, die stets das Böse will und stets das Gute schafft”: Goethe, Faust, 1334-1336).
2. As far as epic poems, I liked all the other epic poems I’ve read (which is 3 - The Odyessy, Paradise Lost, and Eugene Onegin) all more than this one
3. Is the story a little rapey at times? Or no?
All in all it’s a legend for a reason I guess, and I didn’t hate it but I fell asleep many times while trying to finish it……would not read again but also glad I read it.
I can’t remember why I gave it 4 stars originally…
