Mephistopheles in Faustus


  • Devil figure
  • Some critics believe Mephistopheles is a possible lover for Faustus 
  • Mephistopheles could be Faustus' alter-ego; a construction of his suppressed feelings
  • Mephistopheles could be a distortion of the Christian angel.. no God, only the Devil
  • Some critics believe Mephistopheles is the demon who comes to collect the souls of those already damned, rather than a figure of temptation
  • Mephistopheles serves the Devil, rather than being the Devil, and acts as a physical representation on Earth
