Faust
Faust is torn between his love for Röschen and his desire for Kunigunde, who is betrothed to Count Hugo. Faust makes a pact with Mephistopheles and rescues Kunigunde from the knight Gulf. He gives her a love potion at her wedding celebration; Hugo challenges him to a duel, and Faust kills him and flees. Röschen drowns herself in despair, and Mephistopheles drags Faust to Hell.
