Act Two, Scene One Flashcards
Faustus: “Nay,
let me have one book more”
Faustus: “Why, dost thou
think Faustus shall be damn’d?”
Faustus: “Stay, Mephistophilis
and tell me what good will my soul do thy lord?”
Faustus: Christ’s last words
“Consummatum est”
Faustus: “God” and “heaven”
are “vain fancies”
Faustus: “the god thou serv’st
is thine own appetite”
Faustus: “must thou needs be damn’d
and canst thou not be saved?”
Bad Angel: “think of honour
and of wealth”
Mephistophilis: “[Aside:]
What will not I do to obtain his soul!”
Mephistophilis: “And if thou
lov’st me, think no more of it.”
