Synopsis
Faust: A Dramatic Poem — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Faust: A Dramatic Poem is Goethe's major verse drama in which a scholar Faust, disillusioned with conventional knowledge, summons the forces of the demonic Mephistopheles and enters into a Faustian bargain. Together they roam through a panorama of experiences—philosophical debates, magical interventions, temptations, and episodes of romantic longing. Foremost among these is Faust's relationship with Gretchen (Margaret), whose pure love and moral peril lead to catastrophe: Gretchen murders her child in despair, is imprisoned, and faces execution, while Faust, pursued by guilt, seeks to rescue her. The Prologue in Heaven and the Witch and Walpurgis Night episodes frame the moral and metaphysical questions: the struggle between knowledge and faith, freedom and responsibility, power and compassion. The edition you have includes Hayward's translator’s Preface and notes, and presents the First Part as a complete dramatic exploration of human aspiration, downfall, and the possibility of redemption through grace.
