Mephistopheles

Tagged: Theme.

The Demon who acts as agent for Faust's Pact with the Devil, best-known for the speech about the limitlessness of Hell credited to him by Christopher Marlowe. Goethe's icily sarcastic Mephistopheles is less impressive but more widely echoed in modern Faustian fantasies. [BS]
