Everything is subject to God’s supreme plan. Man and the devil are inseparable from this plan. God can have an almost friendly relationship with the devil. Mephisto tries to fulfil his plan when he enters into a wager with God concerning Faust’s downfall. When Faust notices that he has not lived fully almost all the time, he wants to change his life. He wants to experience the feeling of evil, or the Mephisto part in himself. His lower-order needs are revived. Margaret is his target. He allows himself to be drawn in and begins to suffer. However, love and a deeper understanding blossoms between Faust and Margaret. Mephisto and Martha act as a kind of mirror image.
It is the humanity in Faust, the unpredictability, the lack of control, that finally begins to raise doubts…. Is the human Faust so far gone? Has his life reached harmony? Will Margaret ever move on to the next phase? From the first words of the hopelessly torn Faust: “Here I am, poor fool”, to the last in the dungeon: “Oh, that I may never be born”, questions and demands remain…..
