Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend based on the historical Johann Georg Faust (c. 1480–1540). In England ist was popularised by w:Christopher Marlowe's play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, which was written around 1587[1]. In Germany, it became known namely through Goethe's Faust. Here Faust is shown as an eternally striving man who, despite his pact with Mephistopheles and all the resulting misdeeds, can - unlike in the original legend - finally be redeemed.
