* ClusterBleepBomb: Most editions of the drama don't actually print its most famous line, featuring only a cryptic censoring hyphen in its place.
* ClusterFBomb: "Kiss my ass" seems tame by modern standards, but in Goethe's day it was a calculated audience shock.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Goethe's Götz is much more noble-minded than anybody could honestly believe of the real Götz.
* HonorBeforeReason: A prominent motif; Götz just cannot part from his ways or swallow his pride to submit to the "new era".
