Dualidades e tensões no Fausto de Goethe. Um ensaio

This essay aims to present the dualities found in the first movements of Faust’s finished edition as constituent elements of the formation of the whole of the work. It is the dual characterization itself that guarantees the work the status of a tragedy. Seeking to establish relations with the polarities addressed by Goethe, this dual reading is done according to some theoretical postulates of the author himself and is a tool that helps the understanding of this lifetime work.
