Continue watching "Faust".

Margaret was at her neighbor Marthe’s house, and told Marthe her adventures at home alone. It turned out that Marguerite found another jewelry box in the closet. The jewelry in the box It was more numerous, more valuable and more exquisite than last time. When the two of them were discussing how to wear the jewelry on the street without telling Margaret's mother, there was a knock on the door.

It turned out that the devil Mephisto came and reported the death of her husband to Marthe. In fact, Marthe’s husband was a pirate. In addition to robbing, he also hunted for women. Marthe She was very sad when she heard that her husband died. Rather than being sad for his death, she was sad that her husband did not leave any property to him before he died. But the devil Mephisto used this as an excuse to find an opportunity for Faust to date Margaret.

Faust finally met in the garden with the help of the devil Mephisto, and Margaret told Faust her life experience.

Margaret turned out to be a young lady from a wealthy family, but after her father died, she and her mother fell into poverty. At that time, her mother was very ill and unable to take care of her newborn sister, so Margaret raised her sister completely on her own. She also had to buy groceries, cook, and wash herself. You can imagine the hardships involved. Despite this, Margaret remained pure and innocent until her date with Faust in the garden. She tore off the petals of the aster in her hand one by one and counted the petals to divine whether Faust loved her. Finally, he hinted to Faust that he also loved Faust. In this scene Goethe uses torn flowers to hint at Margaret's ruined fate.

At the same time, Marthe was also flirting with the devil Mephisto. I found that in Goethe's writings, Margaret, who is pure and noble in nature that even the devil dare not look at, and the learned and old man Faust, a famous person, showed his emotions and was passionate when dating. The two of them shook hands, broke away, ran away, and chased. However, the devil and Malte did not have any actual actions when flirting. They only used code words to hint to each other, and The two said many wise words.

Two paragraphs are excerpted:

1. Simple-minded and innocent

Never know your own sacred value!

Humility and submissiveness have therefore become

the highest rewards that nature bestows on man.

2. No matter how good the gold, silver and jewelry are,

they are not as good as your own stove and a virtuous wife

There is another passage from Malte: < /p>

The neighbors seem to have nothing to do,

None of them seem to be doing anything serious,

They stare at everyone’s every move,
