As a symbol of man's quest for knowledge, the Faustus legend has always mesmerized its audience. Keep in mind that Goethe was one of the brightest minds alive back then, and that he always called this his magnum opus. He reworked (part I) and updated (II) the legend.

It's an epic because it reports actions by a hero, are you dense, or did you mean "what makes it 'epic'"?

Goethe's versification is seriously lacking in a number of passages, which is a shame because he worked on it for about 40 years.

(This a thread about Goethe's Faust, but it's gone to shit already, so np) Ever heard of Huxley's Brave New World? It's the other standard dystopian classic you're supposed to have read, so if you haven't, happy reading!

Tao Lin, shall I compare thee to a steamy dogshit?
Thou art more creamy and more stench-ridden:
Rough winds do flutter the darling pages of Richard Yates,
And the Library's borrowing period hath all too short a date.

someday take care of this thread.
