Despite the convoluted plot and philosophies, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe introduces a single theme around the capacity and limitations of a man who, under a tailored philosophy of a hero, flunks miserably! A hero is someone that humanity idolizes as a god, like Superman to Metropolis, and model themselves to, like humanity to God. Someone who can be esteemed by the masses as an individual of divine morality and strength, an individual that never forfeits their beliefs under any strain. Therefore, through his perverted actions and his reluctance to be humble and respect the laws of nature, Faust nominates himself as a man of compromise.

Under Mephistopheles’ control, Faust becomes intoxicated with endearment and lead by his perverted emotions. It is under this hypnotism that he approaches Gretchen, however, the sense of love is not mutual.

With that being said, it is then safe to say that Faust does not fit into the criterion of a hero except that he was vaguely "favored by the gods".
All devil worshiping things considered, Faust's adventures all sing the same theme that to find happiness a person must come to terms that they are relevant to the laws of the universe.
As foreshadowed in the Prologue and revealed in the concluding verses, illustrate that good may arise out of evil, contrary wise, they do not encourage that evil should be sought after to find good. The dogma that Faust unknowingly forwards teaches that the basic features of everything that exists in the universe is deathless, significant, and a positive effect on how humans can find a place in life through participating in this incomprehensible cosmic universe, all the while staying in tune with their human
