This notes give a subtle awareness about the intricacies in the drama. Worth to read, except a few missing gaps in the story.

Pride and sin is the most important factor in the downfall of Faustus. Pride belongs to the seven deadly sins, considering himself better from all, Faustus falls in pride and quickly adopt sin to fulfill his lusty desires which leads him towards hell.
