The lesson this week’s discussion starts off with the question “can we resist temptations”. The author of our lesson points out that our temptations are a part of life from the time we first trade our favorite pacifier in for those temper tantrums that insure everything is going to be done on our terms.

inviting manner so he and his followers will not be discouraged by the defeat they just suffered. He first acknowledges that Hell is not an ideal location: “farewell, happy fields...Hail, horrors!” (249-250) This move not only recognizes the hardship the devils have faced in supporting him, but also elicits sympathy from his wider audience.

Through a pact with the devil, Faustus gains the power necessary to perform dark magic and engage in other deeds that are more god-like than human-like.
