	Gounod, Charles (1818 - 1893)
		Goethe's drama Faust had the widest influence over artists of all kinds during the 19th century, a period when Faust might be identified by some with the heroic artist and champion of freedom from conventional restraints.
		Gounod's opera Faust is concerned principally with Faust's seduction of Marguerite, whose own redemption is secured, while Faust remains the prey of the devil Mephistopheles.

	Faust 1
		In Goethe& drama Faust becomes smitten with Gretchen only because she is the first woman he sees after having been given a love potion by the Witches.
		This scene is one of the most dramatic in the opera and features Gretchen’s confrontation with the Böser Geist (Evil spirit) in the Cathedral after she is manipulated by Faust into murdering both her mother and her child.
		Although this would seem to be a stumbling block for performing a new opera in an English-speaking country, the use of German rather than one of the many English translations of the drama allows Brian totake full advantage of the entire range of Goethe& prosody, which would tend to be mitigated in translation.

		Similarly, the Faust theme, which Lessing and after him the Sturm and Drang movement had identified as the quintessential German theme, becomes in Goethe's treatment a bond to link Germany to the European tradition.
		The second part of Faust, completed in 1831 and published posthumously at Goethe's desire, has had a similar -though, perhaps because of its undeniable stylistic virtuosity, not quite so extreme- pattern of reception.
		(Faust was later to speak of the two souls in his breast, the one that sought the heavens and the other that clung to the world).

	Hector Berlioz: La Damnation de Faust
		The legend of Doctor Faust may be treated in ever so many ways: it is public property, and was dramatized well before Goethe's time; it had long circulated in varied forms in the literature of northern Europe ere Goethe took hold of it.
		As to the German verses sung in The Damnation of Faust, which are Goethe's in altered form, they must obviously offend German ears, just as the verses of Racine needlessly altered in Gluck's Iphigenia must shock the French.
		The author of The Damnation of Faust has merely borrowed from Goethe a few scenes for inclusion in the plan he had already sketched out, scenes whose fascination proved impossible for him to resist.

	Comics2Film: Brian Yuzna (Part 1)
		In Goethe's version Faust is an old man at the end of his life who has achieved great success in all fields, and at the end he finds himself thinking that life is meaningless and he doesn't care about anything.
		And since David Quinn based his story, however loosely, on the Faust myth I also went to the most definitive source of the myth which is Goethe's Faust play and tried to understand David's work in light of Goethe's.
		In order to develop this clearer, and to address the element in the comic where Faust is sometimes not in the suit but still has a distorted madman type face, we had a halfway stage for the Faust makeup.

	Faust
		Faust was written over many years and one can see that Goethe was trying to rework the dualistic Reformation myth of Doctor Faustus selling his soul to the devil, into a new alchemical conception of the transformation of Faust through his harsh experiences of the polarities within his being.
		The closing scene in Goethe's Faust had always been, to me, unsatisfactory, leaving many energies of the drama unresolved.
		Faust's early attempts at conjuring in the first scenes of Part One are failures because he attempts to dominate and impose his will on the elemental spirits from his book learning, but when Faust meets his repressed facet Mephisto then he abandons his earlier work.

	Faust
		In the popular drama Faust refuses it; with Goethe he accepts it, but this incident is charged with a fine moral import; Faust accepts the crown, not for the mere sake of possessing it, but to provide himself with a sphere of activity, and in the end his kingdom is his salvation.
		Goethe's Faust savors throughout of the popular sphere in which the story first originated.
		Like Faust, he hoped for a short time to find a clue to the mysterious power which binds nature into one whole, in sciences which were of evil fame, in the writings of old chemists and alchemists.
