Added DiffLines:

* ItWillNeverCatchOn: Goethe did not doubt that this was his masterpiece, but during his lifetime nobody thought it could be played on an actual stage. While Faust II is still rarely seen on stage (mostly due to being torturously long when put on stage) Faust I is one of the most successful and popular pieces of German theater.

Added DiffLines:

* BetaCouple: Mephistopheles and Martha act as a parody of this, in contrast to Faust and Gretchen's dramatically serious relationship. Martha is actively interested in Mephistopheles, but of course he doesn't return her feelings, even though he does flirt with her (mostly because he is the type who can and will flirt with anyone including mortal human women, Ancient Greek lamiae and cute male angels).
