Faust and Romanticism

In Johann Wolfgang von Goethes tragical go Faust, we charm the romantic side of the ninteenth century. In the age of romanticism we see the dominance and assertion of a more separateist fellowship heavily based on imagination and freedom. When society became more heavily individualized poets began to take advantage of this and write plays based on individual characters like Faust. Goethe took advantage of the heavily romantic regulate and spent his life-time righting the play Faust. The ultimate goal of Goethes Faust was to achieve the rationality and reason of all cultures which fully embodies romanticism.Even though Faust is not strictly a valet of romantic literature, Goethes ideas display the characteristics of genre. In the first half of the play of Faust he goes on a walk by dint of nature with Wagner and we see the overall comfort of Faust and the natural world. Faust goes on to talk about the qualities of nature and provides spiritual and faithful reasoning whic h justifying him deep down wanting to enter in nature. In the speeches that Faust makes about nature we see the early nineteenth century tradition of romanticism lifted up.When Faust returns to his studies after the walk through with(predicate) nature we see for the first time that he is satisfied. It is when he returns to his larn that we see the jubilant spirit of Faust killed by the world of rational thinking. Goethe sees a strong spiritual connection in nature because he feels on that point is a spiritual connection between humans and nature.

The human soul is viewed to feed gain of a connection with nature and without this connection there cannot be completeness in an individual.Goethe views the disconnect of human happiness comes from over rationalization and the need to stir a scientific commentary for everything. There is no one explanation for everything and he views t hat in order to feel complete and whole as a person you must return to nature to gain the qualities mandatory to whole.
