Faust, an aged philosopher, has become disillusioned and frustrated in his quest to find the secret of the universe. In his despair, he decides to end his life by taking poison. Méphistophélès, the devil, appears before him, offering him youth and a young maiden in return for his soul. Méphistophélès conjures up the irresistible vision of the beautiful Marguerite, and Faust accepts his diabolical offer. Aided by the wiles of Méphistophélès, Faust successfully courts Marguerite and they both fall in love. Later, Marguerite believes that Faust has abandoned and betrayed her. She becomes insane, kills her child, and is imprisoned, awaiting death for infanticide. While in prison, Faust urges her to escape with him. However, the delirious Marguerite dies. Méphistophélès draws Faust to the underworld as the soul of Marguerite is born to heaven by angels.
