Analyze Faustus’ journey through the heavens. Why is it significant that Mephastophilis joins him on this journey? Why is Faustu
s attracted to certain sights (Maro’s golden tomb, “sumptuous temples,” and the monuments and great buildings of Rome)? How, exactly do the characters end up in the Pope’s privy chambers, and what is significant about the way in which they arrive? Your answer should be at least 250 words.
Faustus is a doctor, who being tired of the way life is being lived at his time, decides to make a pact with the demon. This demon fosters in him the passion for progress and its techniques. That is why he gets so attracted to certain sights, which makes him compare his experiences to what he sees and feels.

In the end, Faustus chooses Mephastophilis over God and salvation, having sold his soul to the devil in order to experience everything he might not be able to had he not done that. But that meant that there was no saving of his soul, which ushered him into Hell where he would spend his eternity.
