Summary/Abstract: The Humanist ideas had a restricted nature in Germany, failing in this way to bring significant changes. Concerning the literary field, significant artistic achievements were not known during the Renaissance; however, some notable productions for the spirit of the time were recorded, such as two popular books written by anonymous authors, Till Eulenspiegel and Faust, which would later become the sources of some famous work of German literature. During the Renaissance, the popular stories of a profound satirical nature reunited in the Adventures of Till Eulenspiegel (1515) were very successful. The hereby paper aims to capture the image of the society portrayed by Till Eulenspiegel as a result of the character’s interaction with the rigid social norms of his time.
