y. Mephistopheles quickly replies to this idea of marriage because marriage is a bondage that is encouraged by the lord and is look upon heavily by religion. Mephistopheles does not condone this because it is against the devils wishes and that this is another way to pull him away from the lord. Towards the end Faust feels that he does not want to fall to the devil and deicide that he wants to repent to be save and not to be taken to the under world. Here again a major concept for religion is that if a person wants to be forgiven by the lord and to be saved for all the sins that he has committed then the lord will forgive if he asks to be forgiven. This is a concept that is a large part of the bible. The lord sacrificed his only son so that we could be forgiven for our sins to be saved and to spend eternity in heaven with him and not as slaves to the lord. As you can imagine at the end of the story Faust is saved by the angles and taken to heaven to be with the lord. Bible states that this will happen if you believe in the lord and follow his directions and that he will be there for you.Both authors wrote in different times and different conditions but the influence on the stories by religion is heavily seen in many aspects of the play. Religion still has an effect on society today even thought there are many aspects and beliefs of the creator. BibliographyJane K. Brown. "Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe."
