Because if you're referencing the character as he appears in Goethe's story (which you definitely appear to be doing), you've missed the point. Faust is not a healer; Faust is a transgressor who is redeemed by the healing and all encompassing power of love. Hence that entire last scene where he makes his way to paradise (after the three aspects of the feminine divine, including that which was formerly Gretchen, plead his case) while Mephistopheles is too distracted and busy being a pervert about the Cherubs to notice the events taking place. In Marlowe, Faustus is a transgressor who is punished. There is a dialectical difference between the two tales primarily due to interpretations of the source material, the nature of the characters, and the time in which each tale was written.Jack Fausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693993943756621762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239208160753453078.post-46418431942390315702011-03-05T15:14:26.140+01:002011-03-05T15:14:26.140+01:00Dear Frater Acher,
