Excerpt from Goethe's Torquato Tasso: Edited for the Use of Students
In the first place, it will be noticed, the poet cautions us against supposing that the work was written in the interest Of some abstract ethical doctrine; he declares that he could hardly tell what his idea was. This does not' mean that the play is entirely devoid of ethical significance, but only that the didactic or philosophical element in it is incidental, and is not the center about which and for the sake of which the whole was built up. The poet's admonition being duly borne in mind, the ethical import of the drama will still be, within limits, a proper object Of interest.
