Goethe's Faust
Faust is Goethe's masterpiece and a poetic tragedy. It is based on the folklore of16th century, and it is a masterpiece that Goethe devoted his life to. It describes the protagonist Faust's painful experience of seeking truth all his life, reflects the whole history of Europe from the Renaissance to the beginning of19th century, and indicates the constant struggle between light and darkness, progress and backwardness, science and superstition. With the help of Faust's ambition and pursuit, Goethe expressed his lofty and beautiful ideal for the future of mankind.

The book consists of a series of narrative poems, lyric poems, dramas, operas and ballet, involving theology, mythology, philosophy, science, aesthetics, literature, music and political economy.

Similarly, Faust, together with Homer's epic, Dante's Divine Comedy and Shakespeare's Hamlet, is called the four classical novels in Europe. Faust's last words should be:

I'm in Solchem Hohen Gluck.

Elves? I got it. chsten Augenblick。

According to Mr. Qian Chunqi's translation, it is as follows:

I have a premonition of high happiness,

Now enjoy the highest moment.

In other words, what really killed Faust may be "now" jetzt in this sentence. After all, when he said, "Dr. Verweile, dubist so sch? n!” I used the modified modal verb dürft instead of the present tense ... Forget it, let's talk about my answer:

Logically speaking, saying this sentence means the end of Faust's life.

This sentence first appeared in the fourth scene of the first tragedy in the book. When Mephisto fellers visited Faust's study for the second time, Faust said it himself. Faust had long been disheartened by his academic life, and he signed a contract with Mephisto fellers. Mephisto fellers mumbled the cost of the contract, but Faust himself added it to the contract.

If I say:

Stop, you are so beautiful!

Then put me in chains,

I was willing to destroy it at that time!

Then let the death knell ring,

Let your position stop here,

Stop the hour hand, put down the pointer,

Ruined my life!

This qualification. Faust chose this way, scattered in the first four scenes of the first film. He wants to get rid of the limitations of his own study with the help of Mefistofele's magic, move endlessly in the Hong Tao of time and the impermanence of the world, and experience everything of all mankind in his heart. But he was afraid that he would fall into inaction again. In order to avoid long-term stagnation in the first game, he proposed this if function at the cost of his life. It can be said that Faust's writing is not only an anger release from his long academic life, but also a positive attitude towards life and self-improvement, and a self-protection mechanism that automatically cuts off power for himself. In fact, Faust imagined that the context in which he might say this sentence was completely different from the language environment in which he finally said this sentence.

Contextually, this sentence has a strong irony.

The second part, the fifth act, the fifth scene, 100-year-old Faust is blind and groggy. The ghost dug a grave for himself in the yard. When he heard it, he thought it was the sound of migrant workers filling the sea to block the seawall. It is such a Faust without civil capacity that said, "Stop it, you are so beautiful." Compared with the wandering, infatuation and government affairs he experienced in his life, a group of mummies dug graves in front of him, which was actually the ugliest moment and had nothing to do with beauty. Faust's way of dying is that his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper, which is consistent with Goethe's alienated attitude towards189th century European social movements.

Since 1789 captured the Bastille, German intellectuals have formed a progressive trend of thought. Schiller, a close friend of Helder, Knebeli, Vilander and Goethe, expressed their joy at the coming of the Great Revolution. However, Goethe's performance in such a social background seems out of place. He not only expressed his doubts about the violent revolution in his play The Rebel, but also participated in Prussia's attack on the French revolutionary regime with the army, which gave the biggest excuse to those who questioned him. In Goethe's Conversations, which records Goethe's thoughts at dusk, we can see some confessions of Goethe's attitude towards the Great Revolution, such as "It's true that I can't be a friend of the French Revolution, because its terrorist actions are too close to me, and it is shocking me all the time, and its beneficial consequences can't be seen at that time." In addition, at that time, the Germans, out of necessity, tried to artificially move those scenes that took place in France to Germany, which I could not remain indifferent to. "Another example is" any leap in the use of violence arouses my inner disgust, because it is not natural. "

Correspondingly, the social changes in Germany, as the aftermath of the Great Revolution, will also cause Goethe's double feelings of identity and doubt. Goethe defined himself as a moderate liberal, clearly standing in the position of gradual improvement. Any Bentham-style radical behavior will cause Goethe's satire and ridicule. Faust's forced demolition and reclamation in his later years obviously infected the radical style of bourgeois liberalism, and Goethe naturally mapped his consistent political views into his works. Faust, as a classic image covering 300 years of capitalism, embodies Goethe's questioning and affirmation of the spirit of capitalism. We always have to read it again and again, because this book can not only give us a transcendental guide in our own life, but also give us a rich spiritual experience beyond our own small world. We can't have a deeper understanding of this book except frequent reading and innovation. If we can spare a little time for this book outside of DOTA, movies and American TV shows, there will be a positive and enterprising human initiative in our behavior.
