Summary

In the famous Faust tale, Faust (or Faustus) makes a pact with the devil. Depending on the retelling of the tale, the pact is one in which the scholar Faust trades his soul for unlimited knowledge or some other kind of super-human power. In the seventeenth century Christopher Marlowe retelling, Faustus buys the services of Mephistopheles (a demon of Lucifer’s) for twenty-four years of living in ‘voluptuousness’ with his soul. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust makes a pact with Mephistopheles in which the devil serves him on earth and he promises to serve the devil in hell.
