Question

Is Faustus an evil man? Why or why not? Use textual evidence to support your points. Your answer should be at least 100 words.

Answer 1

Faustus is not an evil man. The main reason is that he is just a man with all his faults but he also has some positive traits. He seeks knowledge and is an educated man and he actually tries to trick the devil to gain more ability so it would be weird to say that he is evil since he tries to defeat the devil at his own game. Sure, things don't always work out for him but that does not mean that Faustus is evil it means that he is a human who is not perfect but is trying to better himself but does not work in his favor all the time
