She discusses the devil as the embodiment of absolute evil, the devil of the Judeo-Christian tradition acting against God, and the German interpretations of the pact between Faust and Mephisto in Klaus Mann's Mephisto; Lasker-Schuler's play I and I; Thomas Mann's address at the Library of Congress in 1945, titled Germany and the Germans,; and Hochhuth's play The Deputy.
