Main Characters Fausto Nefistoteles
Brief Summary Pues en contexto la obra gira en relacin al personaje principal Fausto que es como un brujo o mago y el quiere tener a las almas a su dispocision cuando el quiera y convertirlos en lo la forma que desee. Pero para esto tiene que ir al inframundo y convocar a Lucifer y dar le su alma pese a esto conoce a Nefistoteles quien le da lo que necesita para invocar a Lucifer. Opinion of the play Me pareci una obra muy interesante al principio pens que seria aburrida pero no lo fue y tambin que seria de terror por la iluminacin y el ambiente creado pero estuvo bien y siento que duro muy poco bueno a mi se me hizo muy poco tiempo
