Everyman | 7718 comments Faust is a play. Part 2 is broken up into acts, which makes it easy, but Part 1 is only broken (in my editions) into scenes. If your edition doesn't have the scene titles, I hope the detailed list of scenes at the end helps you identify where the readings start and end.

Jul 29-Aug 4: Part 1, Dedication through Faust Study (ii)*
Aug 5-Aug 11: Part 1, Faust Study (iii) through A Street**
Aug 12-Aug 18: Part 1, In Martha's Garden through end***
Aug 19-Aug 25: Part 2, Act 1
Aug 26-Sep 1: Part 2, Act 2
Sept 2-Sept 8: Part 2, Act 3
Sept 9-Sept 15: Part 2, Act 4
Sept 16-Sept 22: Part 2, Act 5

* Week 1: Dedication, Prelude in the Theater, Prologue in Heaven, Night-Faust's study (i), Outside the City Gate, Faust's Study (ii)

** Week 2: Faust's Study (iii), Auerbach's Cellar in Leipzig, Witch's Kitchen, A Street, Evening, A Walk, Neighbor's House, a Street

*** Week 3: In Martha's Garden, A Summer-House, Forest and Cavern, Margareta's Room, Martha's Garden, At the Well, A Shrine in the Ramparts, Night, Cathedral Nave, Walpurgis Night, Desolate Day, Night-Open Country, Prison

Aprilleigh (aprilleighlauer) Which edition/translation are you using? My scene titles are different, so I know it isn't Kline.
