About the author
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
12.4k听books6,641听followersA master of poetry, drama, and the novel, German writer and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe spent 50 years on his two-part dramatic poem
Faust
, published in 1808 and 1832, also conducted scientific research in various fields, notably botany, and held several governmental positions.
George Eliot called him "Germany's greatest man of letters... and the last true polymath to walk the earth." Works span the fields of literature, theology, and humanism.
People laud this magnum opus as one of the peaks of world literature. Other well-known literary works include his numerous poems, the Bildungsroman Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship and the epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther .
With this key figure of German literature, the movement of Weimar classicism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries coincided with Enlightenment, sentimentality (Empfindsamkeit), Sturm und Drang, and Romanticism. The author of the scientific text Theory of Colours , he influenced Darwin with his focus on plant morphology. He also long served as the privy councilor ("Geheimrat") of the duchy of Weimar.
Goethe took great interest in the literatures of England, France, Italy, classical Greece, Persia, and Arabia and originated the concept of Weltliteratur ("world literature"). Despite his major, virtually immeasurable influence on German philosophy especially on the generation of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, he expressly and decidedly refrained from practicing philosophy in the rarefied sense.
Influence spread across Europe, and for the next century, his works inspired much music, drama, poetry and philosophy. Many persons consider Goethe the most important writer in the German language and one of the most important thinkers in western culture as well. Early in his career, however, he wondered about painting, perhaps his true vocation; late in his life, he expressed the expectation that people ultimately would remember his work in optics.

Verlorene Liebe, sch枚ne trauernde Witwen und ganz, ganz viel Gef眉hl!
Stella war so revolution盲r, dass es Goethe selbst nach enigen Jahren nicht mehr verkraftete und den Schluss dieses ultra-pathetischen St眉cks in eine Trag枚die 盲nderte. Ich finde es einfach urkomisch. Ein Muss f眉r traumatisierte Sch眉ler und die, die ihn mal von seiner schw盲rmerischen und etwas l盲cherlichen Seite kennenlernen wollen.
Ich habe das St眉ck noch nicht auf der B眉hne gesehen, stelle es mir aber in der richtigen Inszenierung g枚ttlich vor. Br盲uchte allerdings einen Schuss Selbstironie.

鈥淪tella鈥� by Johann Goethe was written in 1775.
Ferdinand abandoned his wife (Cecilia) and daughter (Lucie). Cecilia during a travel meets Stella and befriends with her. Then they realise that Ferdinand is Stella鈥檚 lover. However, Cecilia does not quarrel with Stella and they still are friends. They would like to live together as polygamous marriage or partnership but they know that it will not be approved by the society.
In the play is explored the concept of polygamy. Here is shown a love triangle, but not a typical one in which two persons are competing to gain the approval of the third person; here the three persons love each other and would like to live in polygamy.

Schwacher Plot, schwaches Ende, heute besonders in seiner abge盲nderten Fassung irrelevant (wobei auch das damals provokative Ende mit einer Dreiecksbeziehung das Werk nicht retten w眉rde). Sprachlich gewohnt ausgefeilt, aber auch keine Glanztat, das schw盲chste St眉ck Goethe, das ich mir bisher angeeignet habe.

Nedok谩zala jsem pochopit motivy ani jednoho akt茅ra krom Stelly. Ne moc dob艡e napsan茅 z hlediska psychologie postav.

Die gesamte Problematik der Geschichte bricht in sich zusammen wenn man die M枚glichkeit eines flotten Dreiers in Betracht zieht. Diesen Denkfehler bei Seite ist das Buch immer noch nicht gut und scheitert sogar daran eine vor S眉lze triefenden Schleimspur zu hinterlassen wodurch eine emotionale Bindung zur Geschichte unm枚glich wird und das Buch nur f眉r realit盲tsferne Zwangsneurotiker die es f眉r 鈥瀝omance鈥� halten zu empfehlen ist.

Ich h盲tte mir gew眉nscht, dass Stella und C盲cilie diesen bl枚den Fernando beide verlassen h盲tten und selbst ein Paar geworden w盲ren oder wenigstens ein Fernando-freies WG-leben gestartet h盲tten.
Aber man bedenke nat眉rlich die Entstehungszeit! Zu dieser Zeit war das Buch ohne hin schon skandal枚s (weswegen es ja auch zwei Enden gibt) und genau das finde ich wiederum interessant!
Trotzdem habe ich mich konstant dar眉ber aufgeregt, wie dieser Fernando von beiden Frauen fast sch枚n verg枚ttert wurde, obwohl er beide nicht gut behandelt hat und beide ohne mit einer Wimper zu Zucken (wieder馃ぁ) verlassen w眉rde.

Shit gets messy. Affairs, love, a gun! Probably would have rated it higher but i don鈥檛 know German well enough to catch all the details.
