‘Faust’ is a tragedy in two parts by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It is considered to be his magnum opus and a masterpiece of German literature. Being a great scholar, Faust is successful in life. However, he was dissatisfied with life. He was drawn towards necromancy and called for the Devil to learn the dark arts and black magic. He exchanged his soul for attaining the ultimate knowledge. When Faust, however, realizes his mistakes, he regrets his decisions, but it was too late! Goethe’s tragedy profoundly inspired Christopher Marlowe, who is known for his play, ‘The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus.’
