ESSAY ON: Goethe’s “Faust” and Freud’s “Civilization and Its Discontents”

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This 5 page report discusses Sigmund Freud’s “Civilization and its Discontents” (1929-30) and applies it to a literary character -- Mephistopheles -- from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Faust.” Both are tangentially based on the real world and real people, however, both are shaped and manipulated by their “founders.” For that reason Mephistopheles serves as one of the most valuable subjects or characters from Faust to consider in light of Freud’s theories in “Civilization and its Discontents.” Bibliography lists 4 sources.
