I’m still uncertain as to the significance of the Faust passages placed throughout, and they make little sense when taken out of context, but the first major passage (when we see the woman cross the threshold) is decidedly a passage about the destruction of the world, while the second (which we see when Madoka + co cross the threshold) is about the reconstruction of the world. I’m simplifying it A LOT, but the message is more optimistic in favor of the magical girls. I dunno though, take from that what you will. | :I’m still uncertain as to the significance of the Faust passages placed throughout, and they make little sense when taken out of context, but the first major passage (when we see the woman cross the threshold) is decidedly a passage about the destruction of the world, while the second (which we see when Madoka + co cross the threshold) is about the reconstruction of the world.
