Religious factors in Fausto work
Fausto work written by J.W.Goethe tells the story of a bet proposed by the demon called Mephistopheles one of the protagonists of this work which agrees with God a treatment where Mephistopheles tried to corrupt Faust’s loyalty to God and if Mephistopheles achieved it, he would win the position of God in addition to this in addition to thisIn this work we can observe all the religious factors that intervene determinantly in the development of the work in addition to its respective final where we see that once again a religious aspect appears as mentioned as the eternal struggle between hell and heaven.
There are great conceptualizations about what aspects of religion can affect a clear example in its content is that of Fausto literary work where such emblematic problems of religion are seen as the appearance of the archangels of the devil himself and above allof Mefistopheles which is the right hand of Satan and the character that will try to take Faust in a path of evil where we will see the participation and intervention of characters from other books such as the Odyssey, the Iliad among others which also announce these thesereligious aspects so problematic and disastrous that they will culminate in their devaluation as characters when they are overshadowed by the great interventions that religion will carry out.
Everything begins with a conversation between the three archangels Miguel, Rafael and Gabriel where they talk about humanity and about the great creation of God “Rafael begins by saying: The sun takes part in the alternate song of the spheres and its drawn race ends with the stammerFrom thunder being his gaze the strength of the angels ”to what" Gabriel complements saying ved with which invincible speed the magnificence of the earth around his, and as the glow of paradise becomes a deep and dark night "in that" MiguelHe says: Look at the storms roar which more, from the sea to the shore and from the shore to the sea."
Some time later, Mephistopheles appears who speaks to God and speaks to him about the fidelity that his followers have him, mefistopheles on the other hand, there were the ease with which humans fall before the temptation of sins and pleasures that converge inThe deadly mind. "It was then that the two beings established a commitment to face their opinions regarding humans.". Without a doubt, God’s trust is such that he chose his most faithful believer, Dr. Fausto, Mephistopheles had no choice but to accept the conditions of the almighty.
This was how the conflict of the work was created, appearing a certain definition of religion and those who follow it. It can be said that this and many other events such as when Mefistopheles decides to take Fausto to hell to rescue his beloved Margarita and in that Mephistopheles shows Fausto the cage where he lies and coexists with the other Lilith the mother of most demonsthat exist, or as when Faust is rescued by the choir of angels and thus we see the clear representation of salvation for giving fidelity to God, another important factor to be stressed is the battle that was fought between demons from hell andangels arriving from heaven.
Religion in books is a very refute aspect because these characteristics influence only the reader’s perspective but also have some control in their beliefs and habits that they would normally do in their day to day it could be said that in thiswork religion has many aspects involved in the development of this literary work entitled Fausto.
We can say that Mephistopheles is a very emblematic character who has the mission of corrupting the soul of Dr. Fausto who was very devout and faithful to God to the point of not falling into any temptation and until he gives his life for him despite this Mephistopheles It manages to persuade Faust with many artifice or stratagems which make the healthy morality of the protagonist Fausto decline and thus making him access to the treatment of Mephistopheles.
“Mephistopheles convinces Fausto to sell his soul in exchange for three wishes that he wants to which Fausto does not access but when he remembers and reflects on how his whole life in being loyal and not enjoying such immediately accepts the proposition made by mefistopheles ”, and thus“ Faust decides to ask for his first desire which is to be young and no longer an old decrepit and that if he no longer seems like a living dead ”, Mephistopheles did not take to please this whim which was the basis for that Fausto was falling into the temptation and lies of Mefistopheles who continued enlarging Faust’s obsession for obtaining everything he wants and everything that he yearns in this life.
Then a character would appear that manages to captivate Fausto’s heart, we talk about Margarita, which makes "Fausto asks for her second desire which is that Margarita is totally in love with him" as if it were a Mephistophele servant fulfills Fausto’s desire and so Mmargarita is obsessed in love with Fausto. Fausto believed that the love that felt between him and Margarita was eternal but as we have seen everything has an end and that is how here we see another important religious factor which is named as death and entrance to heaven or hell.
Margarita’s death was such a painful fact for Faust, reaching the point where Faust did not want goodbye from her beloved and on the way she meets such evil creature that no one would like to fight her, Faust to the sky.
"Upon returning to his Mephistopheles world, he begins to press Faust to ask for his third desire" to which he refuses flatly since he wants to use it only in case of emergencies and that is where we see the emblematic outcome where “Fausto overwhelmed by the death of His beloved and pressed by Mephistopheles to ask for his third desire is taken to hell to be imprisoned there Of the work, Los Angeles fight against the demos in the already so mentioned war between heaven and hell where angels manage to rescue the emblematic doctor and thus put an end to the terrible plans of Mefistopheles.
In conclusion I could say that religion is reflected in a large part of the work by being present in this, characters as representative of religion as God is the devil and mefistopheles in addition to the angels and demons who face the soul Faust and thus get Mephistopheles no longer to put bad attitudes in the great doctor at the same time they managed to make Satan and Mephistopheles could not meet their objectives, therefore they would not cause more problems.
