Faust and Margarete share a kiss and are rudely interrupted by Mephistopeles and Marthe. Margarete is scared because she doesn’t know what her mother will think of her. She states this by saying, “My mother would-Farewell”(Macneice 102)! She then runs away from Faust. Mephistopeles taunts Faust by throwing up in his face that he was proverbially, “caught in the act” with his new young love. | Faust and Margarete share a kiss and are rudely interrupted by Mephistopeles and Marthe.
