2.0 out of 5 stars
Much is said, little is explained,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Goethe's Faust: Notes for a Jungian Commentary (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts) (Paperback)
There is so much said so quickly, with so little explanation. Though the observations made were interesting and in line with what I was hoping for in a Jungian interpretation of Goethe's work, Jung's concepts are not simple and self-explanatory. Where there was a sentence of explanation, there should have been a paragraph. Where there was a paragraph, there should have been pages.The entire commentary (100 pages approx.) is composed of tiny paragraphs wedged between passages from the work. It's like reading a plot summary with annotations for suggested topics of research. Perhaps, my expectations were off. I expected a Jungian commentary when the title clearly states that these are simply '[n]otes for a Jungian Commentary'. In any case, if you're looking for an in-depth analysis of Faust from the Jungian perspective, look elsewhere. If you want potential ideas for a thesis on Jung dynamics within Faust, then this is for you. Overall, unsatisfying.
