Goethe has made great achievements in poetry, drama, prose, etc. Faust is undoubtedly one of his most outstanding works. I have read Faust, and Goethe used grotesque and exaggerated writing methods to show Faust's five stages of self-improvement, pursuit of truth, study life, love life, political life and pursuit of classics. However, I don't fully understand the full meaning it expresses. Therefore, I want to study the profound meaning like Faust on the basis of professional knowledge, understanding and cultural background.
