The first part deals with Faust's deal with the devil, and with his seduction of a young girl, Margareta (also: Gretchen), it is essentially a tragedy, as Margareta really "gets it" at the end.
The second part is much more philosophical, Goethe takes up a lot of different themes and uses (for example) classical myth and alchemistical rituals to symbolize different aspects of human life. Also, in the second part, Faust is ultimately saved from the clutches of the Devil by higher forces (God & co.). The fact that Faust is saved has been the subject of much controversy.
