Goethe leaves the part of an overcast day in this story, perhaps for the effect of a depressing mood for a [depressing subject]. Nature has "ability to affect us" (Grandy 26). This also goes back to the idea of the romantics [nature]. Faust discovers that Gretchen is imprisoned. Faust then calls out to the Lord "O you infinite Spirit, change the worm back into a dog" (621). Faust blames Mephisto for Gretchen being in prison and wants help. The field and the overcast day is a constant idea of nature talked or acted about throughout the entire story. | |||
