Not saying it's bad, but very hard to understand sometimes, that's why my enjoyment as a basic reader was meh. But I'm glad I've finished it and now know a bit more about Goethe's Faust (cause the original is some old legend, retold numerous times).

A truly amazing classic. Funny, witty yet also able to capture many details that make it extremely good for deeper analysis.
Doctor Faust is an accomplished man. We admire him, ask him for advice, and rush to his lessons. But now, Faust cannot take pleasure in the transmission or flatter himself with the admiration he provokes. He wants to go towards the whole, frequent the world of spirits, the worlds of heaven, to know "the axiom of the sage." The world of men is a limit that he cannot tolerate. So Goethe's Faust, alchemist, theologian, and scientist, decides to do spiritualism sessions and achieve higher revelation.
But now, he is afraid; he wants to end this world so narrow for these inspirations. This fact is without counting on a bet contracted between "one of the horsemen of Satan" himself and God. Mephistopheles (a highly complex name) will try to offer him all the temptations that humanity can offer.
How absolute a hero, Faust is also a romantic hero. The mirror scene is also a sacred beauty. Faust (the work) is a Gothic novel: a pact, fantastic figures (witches, fairies), and a significant outcome.
Besides, I liked all the references, especially those to A Midsummer Night's Dream.
There's no respect for the rule of three units for the room's construction. And good God, I like that too. The reader is carried, loses their senses, their landmarks (primarily temporal), and this brings magic and consolidates the fantastic universe.

Shakespeare's Characterization + Milton's theological bent + German language = Faust
