Mountains: - When Faust stands on the mountains he sees a godlike women form. In this scene, Faust is seeking satisfaction, and when he sees the feminine figure he begins to reminisce about his youth and thinks about unsatisfied he really is.- On lines 24-25, he says that he sees a long lost treasure of youth. He views this womanlyform as a treasure, riches in the early dawn of love. This is something so valuable that it goes beyond jewels and gold, it’s young love. In other words, he is in touch with a more powerful emotion. - When the devil see’s this, he needs to stop it because in order to have Faust’s soul, Faustmust be satisfied and this wave of memories is doing the exact opposite. - The devil successfully interrupts Faust’s thoughts about young love by reminding Faust that where he stands is the floor of hell. Mephistopheles says this to him in order to These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

The devil offers Faust political power, like having control over a city, but the problem with power in Faust’s eyes is that someone is always trying to overthrow you. - The devil then offers him a palace filled with women, aka a pleasure palace (harem), but Faust argues that he is not that kind of man. - Jokingly, Mephistopheles offers him a mission to the moon and then suggests fame and Faust rejects these ideas as well. - Faust believes that what matters is the deed. In other words, it’s not the pot of gold that matters but the journey there that does. - As Faust stands at the top of the mountains he sees the ocean before him and the way that the waves smash against the rocks and what not. This angers Faust because the ocean has all this power and it achieves nothing. He views it as a waste of energy and wants to conquer the ocean! - Faust wants to push the ocean back in order to build houses! (Real estate) In simpler terms, he desires to become a real estate developer.(This has already been done in the Netherlands and New Orleans.- In order to accomplish this one needs lots of equipment, employees, and permission from the government because they are in charge of the land. In this case, the government is the emperor. - (With private property, all countries claim some border of water as theirs)- During this time, the emperor is facing a rebellion and needs to help him first (bribe) to get permission to push the ocean back. Faust makes a deal with Mephistopheles where the devil will help Faust make a deal with the emperor and push back the ocean. Open Country: - Years ago Baucis and Philemon operated a lighthouse near the ocean that Faust pushed back. They ended up saving a wanderer by warning him that him and his crew were in danger. - The fact that Faust pushes the ocean back may seem like progress but it comes at a price. Slaves toiled over the labor, there was human sacrifice, and the lighthouse now serves no purpose. - This relates to modern industrialization because this results in toxic waste coupled with physical consequences. - Faust is accused of being godless because he sorely wants Baucis and Philemon’s hut andremoves their purpose in life by pushing back the ocean. Faust want’s the couple’s sand dune with the lighthouse. Although he offers them a new home in the “paradise” that hehas built on the ocean floor, Baucis doesn’t want it (Philemon kind of does).- This relates to eminent domain, where the best interest of society overrides the interest of those who suffer from losing land or something along those lines. The government has the power to force people of land. This has to do with weighing the benefits of the whole vs. the benefits of a few. Palace:- Although Faust has created a paradise, now he wants the couple’s house. This goes to show that he’ll never be satisfied.- Faust wants to retire on the sand dune because he can look over his palace there. - This is a problem because he has a constant desire for more. No matter how much he has, he always wants more. That’s all he thinks about. - Once again, we must remind ourselves that in order to have his soul, Mephistopheles must please Faust.- There are many consequences to Faust’s insatiable wants. This includes human suffering,the death of Baucis and Philemon and of the wanderer. - In order to get Baucis and Philemon’s house Faust has Mephistopheles to go to their house and “kick them out”, but according to the devil, the house catches on fire, Baucis and Philemon die from shock, and the wonderer is shot for resisting. - After the house catches on fire, Faust now has the power to build his retirement home there. - Mephistopheles claims that these people died as a result of Faust’s desires. One would think that this would stop Faust from building his home there, but Faust continues on. Late night visitor in the palace: - Faust has a late night visitor, the ghost of care, because Faust doesn’t care about his consequences. If Faust cared, he’d stop with his real estate development and consider the consequences of his actions. - As a result the Ghost of care leaves a curse on Faust and leaves him blind. - This relates to the real world because businesses must continue to grow in order to survive. They’ll never be big enough.- The nature of industrialization is to continually grow and expand. This is known as the beast of capitalism. Outer Court: - After the ghost of care visits Faust, he is left blinded but he doesn’t need his eyes to continue with his plans because it’s all in his head. His mind will do all of the work.- Even after he is blinded his next project is to drain the swamp. This will be his last project.- He runs out of projects to he decides to
