Margarete is up against the Devil(Mephistopheles), who by definition has no morals and no mercy. He's been told to get her for Faust and he does. From the moment she gives in to Faust, she begins to lose herself. She seeks comfort in her simple religious faith but cannot withstand society's disapproval and her brother's curse. She becomes mad, kills her baby, and is condemned to die. | Margarete is up against the Devil (Mephistopheles), who by definition has no morals and no mercy.
