guadaloop 's review for:

Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
3.0
funny reflective

The relentless misogyny pisses me off but I’d love to see certain scenes onstage. The language and wordplay are fun, as well, and the interrogation into what constitutes “Spirit” or “Understanding” to invoke Hegel, but I can’t stand the suffering piled onto Gretchen as a vehicle for Faust’s enlightenment.
