Motifs & Themes in Faust.

I discovered that Faust is a man that is really influenced by Christianity. He's a highly successful man, because he knows a lot of things and he has an extended knowledge. There is one problem, that he is not satisfied with the things he own, he is unhappy because he believes that he can have more, and when he reaches his goals, he is always looking for something more. 

He's a really ambitious person, he feels that he will only become complete if he can fuse his life with nature and the universe, in order to find this higher knowledge, Faust makes a bet with the devil called Mephistopheles.

  
                                  

                               

• Themes: 

1. Faust's power and knowledge. 
2.  The importance of the Christianity in the decision-making of Faust.

3. The conflict between Medieval and Renaissance values. (Faust is a renaissance man who had payed the medieval price for being one). 

• Motifs: 

1. Angels and devils.
2.Supernatural forces.

The power that Faust owns, allows him to be a brave person, most of the history is based on his power, because despite his desire of having more, he is looking for a way on how to use the one he already has. Once he has all the power he can, he believes that everything is possible for him and his limitless power makes him an evil man. He plays jokes with people and he doesn't have a control of it.
