This was quite a play by Goethe. He manages to carefully describe and illustrate the principal character and the other primary players at work in this dramatic representation. Goethe is adept in his speeches, especially towards the end, and there is something momentous about the language in Act V that strikes a chord, resonates, with me. This is a fine play and I recommend it to those interested in drama or in Goethe's oeuvre.
