Was Goethe a pseud? Reading Faust felt like watching one of those retarded pretentious arthouse films.

I will now read Faust.

No
You're the pseud

KYS retard.

There is no point in reading it if you can't speak German. Same with Dante
>>
>>25330086
Dante isn't in German retard
>>

You fucking idiot kek. I meant there is no point reading them in translation. You got me though.
>>
>>25329777
i didn't like it either. all the characters are dialed up to ten the whole time (at least as far as i read). i can't remain excited about a story that tries to maintain such dramatic tone without respite
>>
>>25330098
I’ve read Dante in German
>>
goethe is a very roundabout guy
>>
>>25330098
this made me chuckle
>>
I don’t know the language but I get the feeling German verse is particularly awful in translation.
>>
>>25329777
Yeah I think its central theme is profoundly false and insular
>>
>>25333061
Maybe if you‘re gay and weak

George or Borchardt translations, I hope
