Throughout this scene the reader sees how Mephisto is in control of Faust. He goes along with everything that Mephisto says. Faust ends up getting himself in a situation that eventually will not turn out in his favor. Erich Heller states that "Faust could only be damned or saved"(Heller 137). Faust, at first, was portrayed as a strong character, but by this point in the story, one will see that he is not. Heller also made the note that "Faust's soul was an unfit object for any clearly stated transaction between Heaven and Hell" (Heller 137). | |||
