Scene IV Analysis:
Wagner, Faustus' servant, obtains his own servant. Why is he getting a servant? How does one obtain a servant whilst a servant? Clown, as referenced in the play, is poor and needs something to eat. Wagner offers to fill his hunger if the Clown guarantees Wagner his soul. As bizarre as this comes to me, I feel that Wagner is just trying to follow Faustus, trying to be like him. This can result in disaster as the story moves on.
Scene V Analysis:
In order for Faustus to gain a servant he must give his body and soul to Lucifer. I believe that this can easily be in comparison to other countries/people/regions who have gained slaves through an immoral concept. What does this mean for Faustus in the end? He can only be guaranteed to serve his life in hell after 24 years, is that truly worth all the worldly goods?
