Finished. Time for overreaching commentary:
Goethe is known as a Romantic, someone who elevated and wanted to return to the values and aesthetic of the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, including pagan beliefs. Faust seems to flow most naturally during the description of the pagan Walpurgisnacht. The rigid beliefs of Valentin reflects the strictures of resociety and Christian civilization that condemns both his mother and his sister, ultimately dying at the hands of the devil.
It seems that Goethe depicts a German character that, contrary to the stereotype of cold efficiency, calls to the natural world and emphasizes passion and emotion over "dry theory". Goethe called back to the roots of paganism and gave them artistic and intellectual heft. The emphasis on emotion over intellect, however, is out of balance if there are no restraints, and yet the cold intellect of Faust can renew its spirit with youth, innocence, and love as represented by Gretchen when expressed outwardly toward love and concern for others, rather than emphasis on competition, power, or self-involved hedonism.
Why could Margarete (Gretchen) not take that last step?

Puh, die letzte Schullektüre überhaupt ist geschafft. Ich fand es richtig klasse, ich mag Goethes poetische Sprache und die Geschichte sehr und auch Mephisto. =) Nur die Walpurgisnacht fand ich komisch.
