Dr. Faustus - Scene 5
The fifth scene of the play Dr. Faustus is quite simple. Faustus is discussing the agreement of black magic with Mephistophilis. Faustus listens to his good angel and evil angel's thoughts about the idea and ends up agreeing with the evil angel. For Faustus to be able to learn magic and have Mephistophilis be his servant, he was required to write an agreement with his own blood to give his soul to the Devil. After the agreement is made and finalized, Faustus orders Mephistophilis to find him a wife. Upon returning with a Devil dressed as a woman, Mephistophilis convinces Faustus to marry her. This scene ends with Dr. Faustus receiving a book of everything you could imagine, including spells and incantations that "may raise up spirits."
