Hey all, what do you think of my interpretation at the end of Faust I that it is Gretchen's faith in Christ alone that saves her, rather than anything else. It seems after she is haunted in the Cathedral by the evil spirits and rejected by her brother Valentin as a debased whore, she earns her salvation not through piety and on bent knee to a crucifix, but rather in a damp and musty prison cell, alone, with no one to rely upon but God and Christ. We hear the voice from the heavens say "she is saved!" and so it is. Though I was looking online and could find almost no other interpretations that seemed to agree with me. Am I totally wrong?

Sola Fide is so fucking retarded, in it negation is implied. Why can't you say simply faith saved her? You have to say "only faith" like an autist.
