In my opinion, Prometheus is therefore not for a concrete protest role. In the poem is generally against any kind of authority, which could limit the genius protested much more. Prometheus fights (especially with yourself) into themselves to discover and develop what it is now: a genius. The abstract concept is substantiated by the example of a fictional character. And in these points is probably the reason why "Prometheus" is considered to be typical of the Sturm und Drang period
