Unter dem Begriff Urfaust versteht man Goethes ersten Entwurf für sein Literaturwerk Faust. Er entstand in den Jahren zwischen 1772 und 1775, parallel mit Die Leiden des jungen Werthers in Frankfurt am Main. Goethes Arbeitsprozess am Urfaust ist nicht mehr zu rekonstruieren. Auslöser für die Entwicklung des Urfausts war die Verurteilung und Hinrichtung der Kindesmörderin Susanna Margaretha Brandt. Vermutlich verfolgte Goethe den gesamten Prozess, da nach seinem Tod in seinem Haus Abschriften von Prozessakten gefunden wurden. Es existiert nur eine einzige Abschrift des Urfaust vom Hoffräulein Luise von Göchhausen.

Award-winning writer and beloved professor Harold Bloom delivers exhilarating clarity and invites us to look at this character as a flawed human who might be living in our world.

There is now no doubt that not only is Waiting for Godot the outstanding play of the 20th century, but it is also Samuel Beckett's masterpiece. Yet it is both a popular text to be studied at school and an enigma. The scene is a country road. There is a solitary tree. It is evening. Two tramp-like figures, Vladimir and Estragon, exchange words. Pull off boots. Munch a root vegetable. Two other curious characters enter. And a boy. Time passes. It is all strange yet familiar.

Antigone is a famous Greek tragedy attributed to the ancient playwright Sophocles at around 440 BCE. The play expands on the Theban legend of Oedipus that predates it, dealing with Antigone’s burial of her brother Polyneices in defiance of the law and the tragic results of her act. On another level, the play exposes the dangers of the absolute ruler or tyrant in the character of Creon. No one speaks freely to him, so he makes a series of mistakes, illustrating the folly of tyranny.

The story of Medea is only one part of a myth about the Argonauts' campaign. It portrays Jason joining a battle with fire-breathing bulls and a dragon guarding the Golden Fleece; Medea is helping him tame the beasts. She then follows him to Greece, because she falls in love.

A long trail of horrible deaths, tied to her life path, is hard to imagine.

Faust nun eine neue Interpretation mit einem alten, erfahrungsreichen Faust gegenüberzustellen.
