as a girl dies in a prison cell.
This author wrote a play in which the Lord's voice says "She is redeemed!" as a girl dies in a prison cell. This author also depicted a man who likes reading Homer's epics under a linden tree in a novel written as a series of letters addressed to Wilhelm. This man's female characters include the village girl Gretchen, who kills her baby, and Lotte, whose impending marriage to Albert inspires the suicide of the sorrowful Young Werther. For 10 points, name this German author who depicted a professor signing away his soul to Mephistopheles in Faust.
