Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article will examine the complex portrayal of the Faust and Mephisto figures in Else Lasker-Schuler’s long-suppressed play IchundIch, written in 1940/1941, but published only in 1970. It will show how her unusual work fits into the tradition of Faust portrayals in modern German literature, with reference to its place within the framework of the Faust myth in Holocaust literature. It will focus on how IchundIch varies and to a certain extent even deconstructs Goethe’s Faust figure, and thus examine the relationship of Faust and Mephisto with each other and with God. Lasker-Schuler was familiar with Goethe’s writings from an early age (Bauschinger 68). One of her first four poems (published in 1899), “Liebe,” contains a clear association to Goethe’s “Mignonlied”:

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
