Franz Kafka's Psyche & His Father
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page essay that examines three works by Kafka. "The Judgment" (1912), "Metamorphosis" (1915), and "The Hunger Artist" (1924) demonstrate how psychologically Kafka never overcame his feelings of inferiority in relation to his father. By first looking at Erikson's theory of personality development and then at Kafka's work, the tremendous psychological significance of Kafka's relationship to his father and its impact on his writing becomes clear.

Goethe’s “Faust” and Freud’s “Civilization and Its Discontents”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Sigmund Freud’s “Civilization and its Discontents” (1929-30) and applies it to a literary character -- Mephistopheles -- from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Faust.” Both are tangentially based on the real world and real people, however, both are shaped and manipulated by their “founders.” For that reason Mephistopheles serves as one of the most valuable subjects or characters from Faust to consider in light of Freud’s theories in “Civilization and its Discontents.” Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Goethe/Faust, Part I
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines Goethe's Faust, Part I and argues that while it is Faust who is the presumed genius, the man of letters and learning and Margaret, his love, is but a simple peasant girl, it is Margaret who has learned from her experiences at the end of Goethe's Faust, Part I, not the learned doctor. This is evidenced by Faust's continued association with the devil, Mephistopheles, while Margaret rejects them both, repents, and is, therefore, taken to heaven. No additional sources cited.
