While I was online...

I was online earlier today trying to get some inspiration for our paper due tomorrow and I found this:

It's interesting to see different aspects of Faust and different perspective. I feel like it really tied a lot of things together and provided new insights. Plus the background information is really useful.

  1. This is a really great overview of the Faust myth! I like how it breaks down the different aspects, like Helen of Troy, to the Faust myth.

    I also like the outline's emphasis on the Age of Enlightenment's rationality in Faust works, especially since Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus involves modernism, which includes a rebellion against Enlightenment ideals.

  2. I can't believe this excludes the Faust-based episodes of the Simpsons!
