Unlike Faust‚ however‚ Prometheus is expelled from his society but gains his freedom of individuality and his freedom of knowledge and the ability to understand.

Miranda described a late-night conversation which he had with Goethe at a party in Weimar during the winter of 1785. Fascinated with Miranda’s account of his exploits in the United States Revolutionary War and his travels throughout the Americas and Europe‚ Goethe told him that‚ "Your destiny is to create in your land a place where primary colors are not distorted.” He proceeded

Eternal Feminism in Faust Goethe concludes his famous literary work Faust by exalting the “eternal feminine.” However‚ Goethe does not present us with a clear meaning of this term. I believe Goethe is saying that man’s struggle for knowledge and enlightenment can only be fully achieved when he recognizes and accepts that his soul is androgynous. The soul has a feminine component or counterpart which must be utilized so that he may be optimally guided in such a way as to acquire maximum spiritual

J.W. Von Goethe once said‚ “No two persons regard the world in exactly the same way…” In this world no two minds are alike‚ because think about it. If everyone thought the same this place would be a boring place. No one would have preference and most likely things would possibly go by slower‚ depending on what everyone thinks. J.W.

Anthem‚ Prometheus writes that he now understands “why the best in me had been my sins and my transgressions; and why I had never felt guilt in my sins.” What has Prometheus come to understand about himself? Why does his society regard the “best in him” as sinful? “It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon paper no others see.” “It is a sin write this.” So begins Ayn Rand’s Anthem‚ a dystopian novella convening the life of Equality7-2521‚ The Unconquered‚ Prometheus.

Rand hoped to uncover the link between the historical figures‚ Prometheus and Gaea to the lives of Equality 7-2521 and Liberty 5-3000. In Chapter 12‚ Rand refers to Greek mythology by renaming her two protagonists Equality 7-2521 and Liberty 5-3000. Equality is given the name Prometheus‚ an insinuation to the Titan who stole fire from Zeus and passed it down to mankind. Liberty is renamed Gaea‚ a connection to the goddess

Prometheus was an intermediary himself‚ between gods and men‚ attempting to aid human beings by providing them with fire and treating them with general favoritism. The story of Prometheus acts as simply a means by which certain elaborations and explanations can be made.
