Faustian Bargain

The Faustian Bargain is the deal Faustus made with a devil that served terrible consequence. What happened is Faustus made a deal with Lucifer, a devil and if Mephostophilis became his servant for twenty-four years and granted him whatever he wished for he would then give his soul to the devil. When the twenty-four years was up, Faustus changed his mind and wanted to repent because he realized what a horrible choice he made. What is meant by the Faustian bargain I think is what you want at the time might not be worth it in the long run. You have to pay the consequences for your actions, and if it is a bad decision you made like Faustus you have to pay for it. Sometimes people make bad choices, but Faustus waited and enjoyed his power until the last second, and that's too late. I think that Faustus got what he deserved. He abused his power by playing tricks on a Pope, and torturing Benvolio and his friends. I also think this because he enjoyed every second of his new power, until it was time to let it go and spend forever in hell. He wanted to repent out of fear, not loyalty to God.
