Amazing! Read in two sittings- characters and prose are so much fun and dramatic. Some of the most beautiful lines I have ever read:
"I am not like the God's. That feeling has rooted fast.
I am like the worm that works the dust
And living in dust and by dust fed
Is crushed and buried by the walker's tread"
"I am not like the God's. That feeling has rooted fast.
I am like the worm that works the dust
And living in dust and by dust fed
Is crushed and buried by the walker's tread"

Ich weiß nicht. Die zweite Hälfte war relativ spannend, und die Ausgabe, die ich hatte, erhielte viele Erklärungen, die das Lesen erleichterten. Aber an sich fand ich es jetzt nicht so toll. Wahrscheinlich muss ich noch den zweiten Teil lesen.

I ended up liking this way more than I would have if I read this in print form. The audiobook had a lot of life and made things easy to follow.
I'm glad I finally read this play, because I love stories about Faustian bargains. However, I had already started to dislike the title character during the first half, and part two was a bit chaotic even for me.
In conclusion, Madoka Magica did it better.

Nice palette cleanser from my usual reading. While the play is centered around Faust’s fall and redemption (in later parts), Margaret felt like the truly tragic figure.
