For his great affaire de coeur, Faust must sneak behind a curtain while Marguerite prepares for bed, then pop into sight only when magic has rendered her more than willing. The disillusion culminates as neighbors assemble outside and mockingly call for Mother Oppenheim to rescue her daughter's virtue.
