Faust cries out: "Two beings ah! within my breast are fighting!" One clings to the earth, one "mightily thrusts upward to the sky." Salvation, for Goethe, lies in man's capacity to reconcile these opposites in creative activity. For creation, for a true birth, the feminine vessel is necessary as well as the masculine spark; but the problem of woman involves the problem of evil; and so Faust sells his soul to the Devil...
