Faust, an Ordinary Man
Faust is a tragic play written by nn Wolfgang von Goethe. In the play, Faust is portrayed as a man who is eager to be a superman or closer to God. Human’s endeavors to be equal to God and struggles to invade God’s territory have always existed. These endeavors sometimes result in positive outcomes, such as the progress of civilization or the development of science, but also make humans feel frustrated by reminding them of their mortal limitations. It is evident that Faust’s desire to be a god is represented as a perverted form which leads him to self-destruction. Then, what is the meaning of the godlike that not only Faust, but also other mortals want to be? In terms of knowledge, it may be about becoming a blessed being who knows everything from mundane studies to the truth of the universe. From a spiritual side, God is a noble soul who never yields to temptation. In Goethe’s Faust, Faust is described as a being who sighs for his ignorance.

“Thus from my lust I stumble to fulfillment, and in fulfillmentguish” (3249~3250). The more he has, the more he wants. His threshold for lust is getting higher and higher, and his boundless desire be too risky. Faust, who sold his soul to the devil, is up to his neck in crime. He provides the cause for Gretchen’s mother’s death. When Valentine scorns Gretchen’s infidelity, Faust stabs him to death with Mephistopheles’ help. Those examples show that Faust is only an ordinary human who is vulnerable to primal temptation as well as easily becoming carried away by emotion.
