Essay / Research Paper Abstract
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.”

the individual to find that his or her separate existence is essentially defined by a combination of the repressive aspects of society in conflict with individual desires. The student working
