Answer:

Faustus is torn between good and evil at several points in the play. The story starts with Faustus thinking about which subject to pursue. His options fall under two categories—those that are consistent with a useful, productive life, and black magic, which can apparently satisfy his need for power. He chooses black magic.

When Faustus tries to sign his contract with Lucifer with his blood, his blood thickens and solidifies. This makes Faustus hesitate momentarily. He wonders, “What might the staying of my blood portend?/ Is it unwilling I should write this bill?”

The good angel and the evil angel both try to influence his decisions. The good angel represents the desire in human nature to be good and repent for sins, while the bad angel represents sinfulness and a disregard for the consequences of sin.

compare and contrast the themes and emotions described by Anne Bradstreet and Mary Rowlandson with those used by William Bradfor
Lelu [443]
The difference between the two are that the women most likely show more emotion in their writing, the women also probably talk about their children and love for them. The men would most likely write more about their adventures exploring, their hard work building the houses and running a farm. Similarities would include the hardships they included in their writing. While they would describe the hardships differently and the women may include more emotions, they both go into detail about the hard times and the Indian captivities.
