Reineke Fuchs

Reineke Fuchs

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Reineke Fuchs ist ein episches Gedicht, das von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe neu bearbeitet wurde. Es erzählt die Geschichte des gerissenen Fuchses Reineke, der durch List und Täuschung seine Ziele erreicht. Das Werk ist eine scharfsinnige Satire auf die höfische Gesellschaft, die mit ihren Intrigen und Machtspielen dargestellt wird. Goethe verpackt seine Kritik an der menschlichen Natur in eine humorvolle und gleichzeitig moralische Geschichte. Der Text ist voller spöttischer und boshafter Züge, die die Schwächen der Menschen und ihre Neigung zu Verrat und Heuchelei aufdecken. Die Geschichte von Reineke Fuchs ist eine klassische Allegorie, die auch heute noch relevant ist und die menschliche Natur in all ihren Facetten beleuchtet.
