2、 From the perspective of its form of expression, 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' was influenced by the novels of Richardson, who were once popular in Germany, and Rousseau's' The New Eloise '. But whether in terms of profound thought or exquisite art, Goethe surpassed his predecessors.
3、 Faust is a character in medieval German folklore. It is said that he impersonated scholars, magicians, astrologers, and fortune tellers and wandered around, boasting of his mastery of alchemy. He once sold his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power, and lived in poverty in his later years.
4、 Goethe's poetic play "Faust" is said to have been created by the author since 1770 and was finally completed in 1832, taking 62 years to complete.
