Overview

The play is based off of a classic German legend about a scholar who, although he is very successful, finds himself unsatisfied with his life. This dissatisfaction drives him to make a deal with the devil, exchanging his immortal soul for unlimited knowledge and other pleasures. In Goethe's play, the main character, Heinrich Faust feels that none of his numerous accomplishments has furnished him with fulfillment or a feeling of satisfaction. He longs to obtain information of absolute truth and the importance of our existence on this earth.
