Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Faust is a dramatic duology by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and an adaptation of the 16th century folk legend about the eponymous sorcerer that supposedly sold his soul to the devil.The first part is far better known than the second. Faust: First Part of the Tragedy (1808): Faust makes a deal with the demon Mephistopheles and engages in a love affair with the innocent Gretchen which has dire consequences for the latter. Faust: Second Part of the Tragedy (1832): More incredible adventures of Faust and Mephistopheles, until Faust grows old and Mephisto makes ready to collect his prize.

comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Mephistopheles openly addresses the audience in several scenes and even inserts some occasional meta commentary on himself as a mythological/fictional character.

Deal with the Devil: Though Faust's contract with Mephistopheles here is a wager, not a trade.

Familiar: As his part of his deal with Faust, Mephistopheles becomes Faust's permanent companion and servant. In other words, he is Faust's familiar.

Deadpan Snarker: Mephistopheles, often at the expense of the humans that surround him. It doesn't come across very well in some translations, but when it does it renders him by far the most entertaining part of the play.
