Features: Selling Soul to the Devil
Faust, the scholar, is exceptionally knowledgeable, but he has an insatiable desire for power, wealth, and knowledge. Therefore, he mortgaged his soul to the devil in exchange for twenty-four years of doing as he pleased. If he finds satisfaction, the devil will take his soul. At the very moment of his life's end, can Faust gain a moment of enlightenment, a moment of awakening? Faust is a legendary, half-mythical and half-real figure, and Goethe's Faust also draws from his story.
