Abstract

Johann Wolfgang Goethe was a descendant of both paternal and maternal lines from a prominent family of lawyers in Frankfurt. His career has been connected with jurisprudence since his studies at the university. Although the writer worked most of his life in the field of law, he rose to the top of fame thanks to literature and artistic creativity. Along with literary, aesthetic, religious, and philosophical views, Goethe covered political, social, and legal problems in his works. His poetry is a high example of the combination of poetry and law; in his poems and dramas truth and law, freedom, will and their place in the fate of man are widely discussed. Also, in his large-scale novels, the relationship between man and society is written. These views are reflected in the work “The Suffering of Young Werther”, which is considered to be the first example of Goethe’s work. In them, the young Goethe recognized that the truth of the heart is above any paper, law, rules, and human justice is above the rules and laws written by members of society. The article discusses this topic and explores Goethe’s legal views based on an analysis of his works.
