In the final conversation between Dr. Faustus, Valdes, and Cornelius, black magic is thrusted upon Dr. Faustus by these two other men. Valdes states that black magic, along with their experience and Dr. Faustus's wit, will allow them to great power and control. Cornelius adds that after studying dark magic, Faustus will be satisfied and will desire to study nothing else. Dr. Faustus is very pleased by these accords, and the other two men begin to plan how they will teach Faustus their ways.
After reading the beginning of this drama, I am very intrigued as to where the story might go. The character of Dr. Faustus interesting and dark, which makes me suspicious yet curious of him and his actions. I now understand what the textbook was saying when it said that plays allow for the imagination to see the work as the reader wishes, however, I would like to see a production of this as well!
