Goethe finished writing Faust Part Two in In contrast to Faust Part One , the focus here is no longer on the soul of Faust, which has been sold to the devil , but rather on social phenomena such as psychology , history and politics , in addition to mystical and philosophical topics.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von (–) - Faust: Parts I and II

The demon Mephistopheles makes a bet with God: The next scene takes place in Faust's study where Faust, despairing at the vanity of scientific, humanitarian and religious learning, turns to magic for the showering of infinite knowledge. He suspects, however, that his attempts are failing.

Frustrated, he ponders suicide, but rejects it as he hears the echo of nearby Easter celebrations begin. He goes for a walk with his assistant Wagner and is followed home by a stray poodle the term then meant a medium-to-big-size dog, similar to a sheep dog. In Faust's study, the poodle transforms into Mephistopheles. Faust makes an arrangement with him: Mephistopheles will do everything that Faust wants while he is here on Earth, and in exchange Faust will serve the Devil in Hell.

Faust's arrangement is that if he is pleased enough with anything Mephistopheles gives him that he wants to stay in that moment forever, then he will die in that moment. When Mephistopheles tells Faust to sign the pact with blood, Faust complains that Mephistopheles does not trust Faust's word of honor. In the end, Mephistopheles wins the argument and Faust signs the contract with a drop of his own blood.

Faust: Ein Gedicht

Faust has a few excursions and then meets Margaret also known as Gretchen. He is attracted to her and with jewelry and with help from a neighbor, Martha, Mephistopheles draws Gretchen into Faust's arms. With Mephistopheles' aid, Faust seduces Gretchen. Gretchen's mother dies from a sleeping potion , administered by Gretchen to obtain privacy so that Faust could visit her. Gretchen discovers she is pregnant. Gretchen's brother condemns Faust, challenges him and falls dead at the hands of Faust and Mephistopheles.

Gretchen drowns her illegitimate child and is convicted of the murder. Faust tries to save Gretchen from death by attempting to free her from prison. Rich in classical allusion, in Part Two the romantic story of the first Faust is put aside, and Faust wakes in a field of fairies to initiate a new cycle of adventures and purpose. The piece consists of five acts relatively isolated episodes each representing a different theme. Ultimately, Faust goes to Heaven, for he loses only half of the bet.

Angels, who arrive as messengers of divine mercy, declare at the end of Act V: Throughout Part One , Faust remains unsatisfied; the ultimate conclusion of the tragedy and the outcome of the wagers are only revealed in Faust Part Two. The first part represents the "small world" and takes place in Faust's own local, temporal milieu.

In contrast, Part Two takes place in the "wide world" or macrocosmos. Paul Carus said Goethe's book had influenced "little less than the Bible.



Walter Kaufmann asserts that "Goethe created a character [i. Faust] who was accepted by his people as their ideal prototype. Many lines and phrases from Goethe's Faust have become part of the German language; see quotes here and here.
