# Götz von Berlichingen

_Rautakoura. Näytelmä_

By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

"Götz von Berlichingen" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a drama written in 1773, based on the memoirs of a historical sixteenth-century adventurer. The play tells the story of a free-spirited maverick who stands as a pillar of integrity against a deceitful and over-refined society. Goethe's hero tragically succumbs to abstract concepts of law and justice, revealing how individuals submit to societal forces. This early success features a famous defiant quote that became known as the "Swabian salute." (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
