| Abstract: |
In this chapter, we will analyze the characteristics of the German Sturm und Drang movement (concept of freedom, revolutionary spirit, rejection of bourgeois life, bourgeois beliefs, and moral principles). We will then focus on its key representatives, starting with Lessing and his "Hamburg Dramaturgy," where he presents his views on dramatic art (rejection of correctness and submission to the classical model, seeking a new combinatorial model of multiple "poetics"), and moving on to Schiller, his psychological ideal ("beautiful soul"), and the concept of tragedy as a conflict between duty and inclination. We will complete our analysis with Goethe and his masterpiece "Faust." The chapter will conclude with excerpts from theatrical works ("Miss Sara Sampson," "Mary Stuart," "Faust"), plot analysis, characterization of characters, and reinforcement exercises.
