This study is concerned with the specifically literary function of names in
Goethe's Faust. Connotation is seen to be an essential feature of Goethe's
name-giving practice, and the means are explored by which names, through their
semantic properties and evocative overtones, are able to offer comment on situations,
highlight character, interact through shared sound, sense or association, and
form part of symbolic patterns within the drama as a whole.
