Faust What are the motifs in Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:37 Last updated by Cat on 21 Apr 13:51
Magic is very much a motif through Faust. Good angels and bad angels appeal to Faust, dragons pull chariots, and demons are summoned. Faust chooses to use his magic, a gift from the Devil, for silly jokes and bawdy humour.
