This scene is where "Faust realizes that if he purses his designs on Margarete with the devil's help, he can only bring harm to her" (Montgomery 41). This alludes to the tragedy to come. Faust also wonders why he is doing and acting the way he is. He says "But me? What is it brought me here? | |||
See how shaken, how moved I am! | |||
What do i want? Why is my heart so torn? | |||
Poor Faust, I hardly know you anymore."(579, 2512-2515). | |||
He doesn't understand why he is lusting for Margarete so much. Before, Faust had no real emotion in his life and now he is feeling so much. He realizes that he is not the same man he used to be. | |||
