Faust, Part 2

Faust, Part 2 is a closet drama which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe finished writing in 1832, the year of his death. The work can be understood as a symbol of the Central European culture with its antique roots in it. In contrast to Faust Part 1, the focus is no longer on the soul, which has been sold to the devil, and the feeling lives of individual humans are absorbed in social phenomena in the centre, such as psychology, history and politics. The romantic story of the first Faust is forgotten, and Faust wakes in a field of fairies to initiate a new cycle of adventures and purpose.
