"Never Met Her Before, But I Think I Like Her Like A Metaphor"

Chapter five was the begining of the end for Faustus.  He started off by questioning where is God, and saying how he feels as if God doesn't love him.  Then entered the good and evil angel where the evil one told him to think of Wealth over Heaven. When Mephistophilis came inot the play he told Faustus that if he made a deal with the devil, he would be safe from God's wrath. But he would have to trade his soul for his services. He then started to deny that Hell exists, which is a conflict because in order to believe in Heaven you must believe in hell. He then asked for a wife and Mephistophilis brought him back a devil wife. Which leads me to believe that Mephistophilis can only half ass Faustus's requests and that they will never be as good as they would be if he followed God.

  1. I think that FAustus was doomed from the begining because the devil will only do half of the stuff that he bargained Faustus with. It will be interesting though. Thanks!
