Act 5 of Faustus

In the beginning Faustus is struggling to either go to God or to keep going in magic and then the good and evil angels come in and try to persuade him. He ends up leaning toward the black magic because if he does so he figures that God can not hurt him. He cuts his arm to bleed and write a will to Lucifer saying that after he dies he is his, also that Mephastopilis is now his servant.  Faustus tries telling Meph that he doesn't believe that Hell isn't real and Meph. argues that he is living proof. Then Faustus asks for a wife and Meph kind of laughs in his face then brings him a devil dressed as a woman and explains that marriage is practically a joke and that Faustus can have any woman he desires whenever in his bed every night. Then Meph gives Faustus all the books he needs to conjure up all of his magic he wants.
