Discussion questions:1. For What Does Faustus Sell his Soul—Ultimate Knowledge or Party Tricks?
2. Does Mephistopheles tempt Faustus? Or does he damn himself?
3. To what degree are the fantasies & desires that Faustus articulates—his fantasies & desires of the expansion of human scope & power & imagination—ultimately purged or contained by the play's ending?
4. What are the implications of the fact that the damned hero gets all the best lines?

When all the world dissolves,And every creature shall be purified,All places shall be hell that are not heaven. Faustus.
