FAUSTUS

Doctor Faustus felt dissatisfied with the knowledge that he had mastered—logic, medicine, law and religion. He wanted to learn magic, and then he summoned mephatophilis. Mephatophilis warned about the horrors of hell but Faustus ignored it. Faustus told the devil to return to Lucifer with an offer of Faustus' soul in exchange for twenty four years. Lucifer accepted Faustus' offer. With his new power, Faustus began to travel. He went to the pope's court in Rome, court of Europe, court of Germany, until court of the duke of vanholt. As the twenty four years of his deal with Lucifer came closer, Faustus felt afraid. On the final night before twenty four years, Faustus was scare. At midnight, a host of devils appeared and carried his soul to hell. In the morning, the scholars found Faustus body and decided to hold funeral for him.
