“Had I as many souls as there
be
stars, I'd give them all for Mephistopheles!"
-Dr. Faustus.
With regard for Mephistopheles
and Dr. Faustus…
In the 1590s, Mephistopheles is
the
evil spirit to whom Faust sold his soul.
Faust is a medieval German legend of unknown origin. He
was a magician and alchemist who dedicated
his soul supposedly to Satan via Mephistopheles, in exchange
for knowledge and
power.
This legend was called
“Faust” up
until the time of the English play in the 16th
century created by Christopher
Marlowe, at which time it was renamed, “Doctor
Faustus”.
J.W. von Goethe, wrote a couple
related
plays. (Part I, 1808; Part II,
1832). Maybe someone could help me with
this. According to “Göthe”, scholar Karl
Julius Schröer (1886) the term “Mephistopheles” is a
compound of Hebrew mephitz
"destroyer" + tophel "liar" short for
“tophel sheqer”,
literally "falsehood plasterer".
Schröer attended both Leipzig
and Berlin University where he studied
theology and philosophy. He was the
director of the Lutheran Schools there and after 4 years
didn't seem to dig the
program and resigned and was awarded an honorary degree in
philosophy. The names of “devils” in the Middle Ages
are
in most cases derived from Hebrew. At
the end of Goethe's drama, Faust's soul escapes from
Mephistopheles while he is
making improper advances to the angels that have come to
rescue his soul.
What does, [“Had I as many
souls
as there be stars, I'd give them all for
Mephistopheles!" -Dr. Faustus] mean? It makes
absolutely no sense to me.
