Goethe's nouel „Die Wahlverwandtschaften” deals with a love‐story, but it also deals with chemistry. Goethe draws parallels between both chemical processes and the attraction of the characters. These parallels will be explained in detail in the essay. The essay also deals with Goethes knowledge of the chemical theory of his time and explains his subtle literary strategies.
