Reviews for Iphigenia

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a fair work by the great Goethe that touches on much of the poetic imagery that I saw prevalent in Faust. Overall, the work is impressive, but it is if there is something lacking here the carefully teetered lines that Goethe presents the reader.
Nonetheless, a decent read.
