This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) "Le renard" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a narrative poem written in the mid-19th century. The poem unfolds the tale of Reineke the Fox, a cunning trickster who finds himself beset by accusations and dangers from various animal characters, including Isengrin the Wolf and Henning the Rooster. As courtly grievances are aired against him, the work delves into themes of deceit, justice, and survival in a world fraught with conflict and social dynamics. At the start of the poem, the lively atmosphere of Pentecost sets the stage, with nature teeming with life and celebration. The king of animals convenes his court, but the sly Reineke shies away from the gathering due to his shady past. As the court assembles, various animals, fueled by grievances against Reineke for his past misdeeds—including theft and deceit—begin to air their complaints. The opening focuses on the interactions among characters revealing the lion's royal authority, the cunning tactics of Reineke, and the mounting tension that signifies the unraveling of social bonds through accusations. The tone establishes both a somber and satirical commentary on justice and moral conduct within the animal kingdom, leading to the anticipation of Reineke's eventual reckoning.
