evil or Hell. Other similarities include how the villains of two of these epics are the most likable characters, and the use of classical and Christian mythology in each poem. Faust deals with evil when he makes a deal with Mephistopheles, or Satan. This deal is that Mephistopheles will give Faust whatever he wants in return for his (Faust's) soul. Inferno is a journey through Hell. Dante is being lead by his guide, Virgil, through the icy parts of Hell, to the center of the earth, while he climbs up

such a parallel of this contemporary version of Faust, Jesse would have the most similar characterization to Faust, and Walt would be the devil, Mephistopheles. Walt first goes to Jesse when he is clearly in a weak position (dealing with drug addiction, and relationship problems), and offers to help turn him to a positive life, exactly like when Mephistopheles offers Faust “What no man has ever seen before” (Goethe 1674). Then Walt, in an instant, terminates every aspect of a positive life for

the devil represented in the book by the hilarious Mephistopheles for the attainment of worldly things. Most men and women encounter this question in a figurative sense at some point in their lives, and feel the temptation of a secular nature which threatens their conception of purity or goodness. Faust certainly does, and never so much as blinks a single eyelash of regret throughout his whole supernatural, surreal tenure in which Mephistopheles attends to his every earthly desire. The doctor desired

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe’s Faust is not necessarily a meticulous piece of romanticism literature, but definitely shows numerous characteristics of the time period. Faust is a tragic play written during the romantic era, and is widely regarded as Goethe’s best work or his magnum opus. It features a wide array of characters and ideals stretching from God and the Devil, to a wandering man named Faust who throughout the story seems to be trying to find himself. While reading the text, the reader

suggest that Faustus now believes in his celestial power to such an extent that he does not care what damage he inflicts on the ‘mortals’ that surround him. This is primarily shown through the parodic comedy of this scene: “O, my leg, my leg! Help Mephistopheles! Call the Officers! My leg, my leg!” (176-177) This demonstrates Faustus’ delight in abusing his newfound power for trivial purposes, as he takes great enjoyment from overdramatising this practical joke and making the horse-courser look foolish

Translation Variance Goethe’s Faust, written in loose poetic verse, is a classic work delving into the concepts of loss and redemption and human nature. Goethe’s elegant diction and obvious mastery of the manipulation of language bring to light the story of a man struggling with his humanity. His unassuming approach makes the tale seem inspiring rather than didactic. Translators across the globe fail to understand the true intentions of Goethe’s work—they desperately cling to the rhyme scheme of

Hector Berlioz, my favorite composer, (born December 11, 1803ㅡdied March 8, 1869) is deemed one of the greatest who, “...[contributed] to the modern orchestra with his Treatise on Information.” His mental state and life shaped a composer who had such a raw, creative sound that is reflected prominently in his works, such as Symphonie fantastique and La Damnation de Faust. During the age of where he was to attend school, France was at war and as a result he had to be taught by his father who first

similar views. Marlowe’s low opinion of Christianity comes through in ways other than Faustus’s words; it also shows in the events of the play. Act three scene one is entirely devoted to making fun of the Catholic church. In this scene, Faustus and Mephistopheles wreak havoc on a banquet held by the pope, who seems to care more about his dinner than he does his divine duties. Indeed, almost every line spoken by the supposedly-holy man is about food. He, and by extension organized religion as a whole, is

are limits to their application. However, the spirits allow Faust to experience a new lease on life. This entire encounter is constructed through a bet between the Lord and Mephistopheles. Even when Mephistopheles drags Faust into unfortunate situations, Faust places his complete control in the devil. His trust in Mephistopheles represents his absolute trust in spirituality and supernatural powers. Through his experiences with spirits, Faust experiences a wide variety of emotions, from love to tragedy
