However, as time goes on, Faustus begins to regret his decision and realizes that he has made a terrible mistake. The play explores themes of temptation, sin, and the consequences of making deals with the devil. It is considered a classic of English literature and has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and other works of art.FAUSTUS. How am I glutted with conceit of this! Shall I make spirits fetch me what I please, Resolve me of all ambiguities, Perform what desperate enterprise I will? I'll have them fly to India for gold, Ransack the ocean for orient pearl.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
