the prologue at heaven the archangels, god and the devilthe choir of archangels sing harmonic verses in glory of godbut there's a dissonance among themthe devil is going to talk with god about his creatures from earthwho are searching ways over the human conditiongod become startled and defends his creation:"a good man knows by hear his certains way"the devil asks him:"can you tell me one of those good men??"godthinks:"my servant, faust"the devil laughs scepitic and invites god to make a bet for faust's soulthe charlatan, the doctor faust, fatigued with theology and philosophya profound disgust with life and strong inclination towards deathhe thinks commit suicide, but he finds another solutionthe prohibited arts of damnable science may deliver him from his anguish of mindin his gothic room looking the sign of cosmosthe doctor faust summons for the spirit of earthhe beats irritated on the magick book and contemplatesthe sign of the spirit of earthhe pronounces the mysterious vocables to summon the spirit of earthhe lights a red flame and the spirit of earth appears on itthe spirit on red flame dialogues with faust and disappearsa damned dog with fiery eyes and a terrible mandible appearsf:"don't growl damned dog. what do you trace?"d:"didn't you summon me?!?"f:"who are you (spectre) to invade my house?!?"d:"i'm mephistopheles. the spirit of earth. the devil"the crucial moment arrivedmephistopheles promises the joy of life to fausthe doesn't hesitate and signs the pactthe apostasy is completef:"clouds accumulated above me. the full moon hides its brightness.ardente rays move around my head. oh mephistopheles, spirit who I summoned,my heart devotes itself for you. please, satisfy me and reveal meall secrets of the universe which I don't know"m: "hail doctor faust!!! I promise you unlimited wisdom and pleasureyou can usufruct entirely what was him promised for twenty yearsbut, after it, your soul will be mine"mephistopheles and the doctor faust go to seek adventuresfaust knew the pleasure by suffering of love and sinafter twenty years the pact is concludedthe servant gives himself to his new mastermephistopheles grasps him and tells him:"god could help you, if he wanted to"a heaven without hell. the dream of faust
