To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Paris and Helen appear as shades, and are admired and criticised by the court in a soulless manner. Only Faust is really struck with the sublimity of Helen's beauty, so much, in fact, that during the next, the fourth, episode the effort to win her becomes the controlling influence of his life i. E. , he enters the sign of the aesthetic ideal. For his search for Helen, and his final wooing and wedding of her, we must not interpret as a return to the sphere of sexual love, as por- trayed in the G...retchen tragedy. Helen, in our drama, is not so much the ideally beautiful Grecian, as rather the Grecian ideal of beauty in art and life, and thus, in a meas- ure, an incarnation of some of the highest human achieve- ments of the past. In search of it and in communion with it, Faust is therefore actuated by a truly lofty and noble aim in life, although not yet by the loftiest and noblest. i8 Goethe 's "Faust" Two of the most famous and, in many respects, most beautiful portions of the Second Part are devoted to the por- trayal of the sphere into which we have now entered namely, the so-called classical Walpurgis Night, and the Helena drama proper.
