Chen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 part 1 is just another german medieval puppet show, part 2 TRANSCENDS part 2 is disjointed with its storytelling and has less banter between mephisto and faust, terrible, the sequel completely changed the formula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 i can't believe Goethe put pop culture references into his work, fucking memes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 people usually meme about having to read the greek classics to fully understand literature there are no memes when you read part 2 of faust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 all of mephisto's lines are glorious, especially when he's talking with faust they're like a pair of cops, good cop and bad cop unfortunately (or fortunately), part 2 goes from depicting the lives of just a few characters to introducing a story on a wider scale overall, part 2 needs an editor (or maybe it's TOO DEEP for me. idk, i just enjoyed part 1's dialogue much more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 so part 2 is an acquired taste for true intellectuals... it's the dark souls of literature, basically? ya it really helps if you know the references in it, because some of the stuff in part 2 gets really obscure (especially some of the greek). i found the homunculus sideplot to be just "okay" myself - i get the meaning, but the words aren't clicking with me. maybe i do need to reread it again to "get it", the entire thing. makes me wonder what goethe was trying to achieve when writing this though. what did he mean by this?

Chen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 yeah, faust I and II had incredibly different tones. sad that he died before he got to completely finish it up, but i don't think he'd finish it even if he lived 100 years because it really does feel like an autobiography at times, or less of a play and more of an essay with characters attached to ideas (really apparent in the greek parts, but i think that's the point lol) you need to enjoy the philosophy if you want to enjoy part ii maybe when i'm a little older i'll reread this and probably get something out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
