Goethe's character thought
Goethe pointed out that when a writer enters the creative process on the basis of feeling and experiencing life, he should start with grasping the individual things in life. He believes that grasping and describing individual things is the life of literature and art.
The so-called individual things, in Goethe's view, include not only individual characters, events and situations in real life, but also some legends and stories handed down from history. Goethe asked writers to grasp the individual things in life as the starting point of the creative process, which is a major breakthrough in the traditional literary creation thought and a milestone in the historical process of the development of western literary theory.
In the era of Goethe's life, the conflict between the call for freedom and individuality in literary creation and theoretical criticism and traditional literary concepts is becoming increasingly acute.
Based on a deep understanding of the characteristics of literature, Goethe continued to explore in the direction of his predecessors, and finally completed the transformation from "genre theory" to "individualism theory" in his creative theory. The important symbol of this change is the proposal of personal creative thought. Goethe strongly denied the theory of "type" in theory. The basic spirit conveyed here also runs through many other speeches of Goethe.
