"Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus tells the tale of a learned man who makes a pact with the devil. In exchange for the devil's services (in knowledge and ability), Faustus promises his immortal soul to the devil after 30 years. The devil sends Mephistopheles to serve Faustus. For 30 years, Faustus lives an exciting life. Towards the end of his life, Faustus regrets his decision. It is too late. At the ring of midnight, he is transported to hell."
