ABSTRACT
Goethe developed his boy's fairy tale “The NEW PARIS” from „Poetry and Truth“(pp. 59-74), two children's dreams, into FAUST POETRY. Like the dreams, the FAUST POETRY takes place in the various rooms of his parents' house. K. R. Eissler found this interpretation to be “convincing”. Goethe suffered at least fife traumas in his childhood, which found expression in his FAUST; including Goethe's beating in the kitchen by his mother (“someone”) while throwing out dishes of the Kitchen ("Poetry and Truth"S.16-17). There is Freud's famous interpretation of this: "A childhood memory in "Poetry and Truth" (1917b; SE, pp. 147–156). Freud shows that little Goethe threw dishes out of the kitchen window out of jealousy of his younger siblings, or rather of his newly pregnant mother's expected baby. This event is poetically depicted (as an example) in the “Witch’s Kitchen” in FAUST1 (and psychologically supplemented in the 2 nd act (s. below) and 3rd act FAUST2, the so-called “HELENA ACT”,8488-9355). The scene contains emotions such as fear of death, fright and defensiveness such as identification with a beating mother imago (witch). In the first act of FAUST2 this can be found repeatedly in the incident with the ragged dog (little Goethe) and Viktoria, she beats him up (5455-5478). The ragged dog regresses at the cellular level, egg (5476). The egg divides asexually, producing a twin. According to Germanists, parts of Mephistopheles emerged there. Mephistopheles is “a part of the part that was everything in the beginning” (1349). Mephistopheles is a personality split from Faust (actually from Goethe). Goethe describes that during a severe psychological trauma a personality split occurs, through psychological regression to the psychological-symbolic-imaginary cell level and division (splitting off) from the primary psychological personality-(-cell). This alternation, copy personality, is not a complete copy, it has defects. This is what Goethe describes. Mephistopheles, for example, is not human, just a devil. It is a container for traumatic memories and determines the repetitions of these memories. He decides when, what and where the witch can do again. Mephistopheles already announces to the witch in the witch's kitchen: “[…] you can only tell me in Walpurgis.” (2590). Goethe thus provides a reference to the “engine” of a compulsion to repeat, which apparently arose during the “kitchen trauma”. Is the motor of the repetition compulsion the incomplete psychological cell division impulse of the incomplete copy cell? The unconscious, intrapsychic processes involved in the trauma in the kitchen were poetically portrayed by Goethe in FAUST POETRY, corresponding to descriptions from psychoanalysis patients. The Faust poetry and patient descriptions show evidence of intra-psycho-biological laws. The psyche, part of human nature, apparently has intrapsychically stored knowledge about the origins of humans (analogous to a computer hard drive?), about their embryology, biology (also anatomy, example: phantom pain) and also physical-chemical laws.
