He is taken over by Helen’s beauty, and in the process, loses his soul. Another illustration of the trance Faustus is in, is by the use of alliteration in the first two lines of the poem. This device causes the reader to read the lines more slowly. The pronunciation of words in a moderate fashion suggests this trance, and makes the rest of the passage more comprehensible.

It could be considered odd that is so understanding to Priam and the burial of Priam’s son, when not that long ago was dragging the body of Hektor around the grave of Patroklos. This is the same corpse that vowed to feed to the dogs, the man who slew ’ dearest companion and led him to swallow his pride and return to the battlefield.

sacrilegious and amoral attention-seekers as they proclaim the evolutionists to
