Summary
The author draws attention to a place in the text of "Dichtung und Wahrheit" from which it emerges that Goethe recognized Lili Schönemann's symptomatic act as such and explained it in a psychoanalytical manner. The description and meaning of this symptomatic act is embedded in an ostensibly "occasional poem" (described by Goethe himself as a "joke") which Goethe ostensibly wrote in the night of the 17th birthday of his then fiancee Lili, as an apology for his appearing too late for the birthday party.
Evidently Goethe, however, was in Switzerland at the indicated point intime. The author surmises that in the "occasional poem" it is a matter of a dream of Goethe, which could have as its subject Goethe's feelings of guilt towards Lili.
With the type of portrayal of this presumed dream as "occasional poem", Goethe, in the author's view, permits himself a joke with the reader of "Dichtung und Wahrheit".
Given this "joke" the author tries to show some principles of construction according to which Goethe presumably drafted "Dichtung und Wahrheit".
