Faust Summary – Rough

The play opens with a well-respected German Scholar, dissatisfied with his accomplishements
and the taditional forms of knowledge (science, philosophy, etc.). Seeking ultimate knowledge he turns
to that dark arts or magic, disobeying his religious self. Two new friends, Vales and Cornelius, instruct
him in their Harry Potter ways, and before long Dr. Faustus had performed his first act of magic: raising
the demon Metistopholise.
Despite Mephists honestly about the horrors of hell silly Fautus trades gives his soal to Lucifer
in exchange for twenty-four years of service from Mesphit. Why he didn’t ask for more, i’ll never know.
All the while Faust’s servant Wagner has picked up a little magic as well and uses it to congure up demons
that peruade young clown Robin.
Throughout it all Faustus is constantly considering repenting to god, however he is consistently
diswaded and signs the deal with Lucifer in his own blood, and immediately after “Homo Fuge” or O man,
Fly appears branded on his arm.
The event if fallowed by many bouts of missgivings from Fautus. Mephist responds by giving
him gifts, a book of spells and answering all questions of the nature of the univerise, except of course
“who created the universe”, as they both know it was god. Personifications of the seven deadly sins
are also brought forth by Lucifer to parade around if front of Faustus and ease his mind.
Armed with Supernatural powers Fautus travels to Rome on a dragon chariot to play practical
jokes on the pope while invisible. He then travels to Europe, his fame spreading as he goes. Invited
to the King’s court and is asked to bring back Alexander the Great as the King is not pleased with his
level of power
