Goethe/Faust, Part I
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines Goethe's Faust, Part I and argues that while it is Faust who is the presumed genius, the man of letters and learning and Margaret, his love, is but a simple peasant girl, it is Margaret who has learned from her experiences at the end of Goethe's Faust, Part I, not the learned doctor. This is evidenced by Faust's continued association with the devil, Mephistopheles, while Margaret rejects them both, repents, and is, therefore, taken to heaven. No additional sources cited.

Goethe’s “Faust” and Freud’s “Civilization and Its Discontents”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Sigmund Freud’s “Civilization and
its Discontents” (1929-30) and applies it to a literary character
-- Mephistopheles -- from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Faust.”
Both are tangentially based on the real world and real people,
however, both are shaped and manipulated by their “founders.” For
that reason Mephistopheles serves as one of the most valuable
subjects or characters from Faust to consider in light of Freud’s
theories in “Civilization and its Discontents.”
Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Hesse & Le Guin/Views on Dichotomy
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper/essay that contrasts and compares Ursula K. Le Guin's science fiction/fantasy The Land Hand of Darkness and Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf, which are two novels that share a basic orientation in that both narratives employ fantasy in order to illustrate the author's views on the tendency of human beings to view reality, including themselves in dichotomous terms, primarily in terms of polar opposites. Both authors make the point that this "either/or" type of thinking does not actually reflect reality, which is much more complicated than the black-and-white scenarios that dichotomous thinking tends to produce. However, beyond the similarities in their philosophical foundations, the novels are, of course, completely different. However, comparing these narratives illustrates the ways in which Hesse and Le Guin employed the genre of fantasy in order to achieve their artistic goals. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
