2、 Faust mainly revolves around five stages of development in Faust's life: his pursuit of knowledge, his obsession with love, his longing for power and politics, his persistence in art (beauty), and his unremitting efforts for the cause of human happiness.
3、 His five pursuits were not only the five spiritual aspirations of humanity in that era, but also the five ideal states of life widely believed in today's Western society.
4、 In addition to the protagonist Faust, the devil Mephistopheles is also one of the more successful characters portrayed in this masterpiece
1、 He represents both the rebellious spirit of negation and a sharp critical eye. Especially his language, full of wisdom and playfulness, leaves a very deep impression on people.
5、 The Goddess of Sorrow took the opportunity to blind Faust's eyes, and the demon summoned the undead to dig Faust's tomb. Blind Faust heard the sound of digging and thought that the people had responded to his call to start building their homes. He was very happy and satisfied, and died.
