Thomas Mann’s Doctor Faustus and Jurek Becker’s Jacob the Liar

The definition of heroes of Dr. Faustus of Thomas Mann and Jacob of Liar Joseph Campbell of Jurek Becker points out that "heroes are those who give life to something bigger than theirs" (Campbell 123). Since the beginning of human beings telling stories, the concept of hero always exists and is being actively used by storytellers. There are heroes aimed at providing role models and character courses for people who listen to and read stories in all cultures and traditions of myths and legends. The hero of the story can take various forms to reflect the author's society according to the purpose of the story.

There are many such stories (Marlow's doctor Faustas, Goethe's Faust, Thomas Man's doctor faustas, Greek tragedy, Macbeth and Barry Lyndon's luck ...). The character of Faustian is enthusiastic about prestige and power, having this power is more valuable, usually it is necessary to exchange his soul. He is a wise man, but he is not a wise man, and Faust arrogantly and stupidly decides that the exchange will serve his interests. After all, he saw himself being deceived: "It is a good thing that people confiscated his soul, although this question was asked to get the whole world. ". The lesson of the Fausto story is that the power of the world is expensive and the price is beyond the value of the item being purchased.

Caitie began reading all the versions of Faustus' story last summer, and she can let go: Dr. Christopher Marlow's doctor Faustus (1592), Goethe, Oscar Wilde's picture Dorian Gray, The Master of Mikhail · Bulgakov and Mr. Margarita, Thomas Man's doctor Fosters (the most difficult novel I have ever read) and Mr. Clausman. Finally, she decided to focus on Dr. Faustas of Marlow and Dr. Mephisto of Man, and began to enter her project. However, as happened in many high-level projects, she can not understand what she wants to say to them.
