faust 2 was written like 25 years after the first one

Faust 2 is nonsense. It was written a long time after faust 1 when Goethe was basically senile. Just ignore it.

I felt if it's not read in the original German, we won't get a lot of the references and reasoning of many parts of part 2, of why Goethe chose certain words, doesn't even rhyme
