Project:
The story of Faust is a complex analysis of humans and our desire for knowledge and
experiences. In a 2 page essay, analyze what is being said about knowledge. Does the story
depict knowledge as good, bad, both? Are there limits to what knowledge we should have or
what we should want to know? Finally, in your essay also compare your own thoughts on
knowledge with what is being said in the story.
