Faust, something to think about

As I said,  I've been reading Faust, which is a clasic nobel from the XVIII century, I've dicovered many things, at first  who is Faust, what I think he is doing here and what will happen at the end of the  book,  but also  as I've been reading,  I noticed many things that  are  important,  even thought that are   little things, and  these little things will lead us  to a  theme, treated though all the   book.

The  motif, in my opinion, is the  bible, the  scenes and symbols that are in it are a basic part of the book because this story is  located during the Renaissance, where the society used to  be  very catholic even thought that  there was science, thy didn't care enough for it. In this case, in the story, Faust is reading the bible,  where he is trying to  get  knowledge, because during Renaissance, it was used to get information just if you were part of the Catholism, and part of the church, mainly, and  he is  an important character from  his  village, because he knows many things, and  by    having knowledge about the bible and what it was said inside, adn how to expalin, yo were considered a genious. This is also  noticed on the scene where he finally  meets Mephistopheles, because as he was  being a good Samaritan, he picks up a  dog and gets him home,   so that at the end, while he was reading  the bible, and trying to undestand  the first part  the dog changed   his form and transform  into Mephistopheles.

The motif will lead me to my  theme, which, in my opinion is  the  way Goethe tried to  explain   life, and the consequences of  the greed  based on the Bible,  in this case, he tried to  show Faust as  someone that knows a lot, ut even thought that, he tries  to get knowledge, explained in  the  treat that he made with the  Devil (Mephistopheles) that  will be his guide into the  things that he doesn't know, passions ans the ways he will see  life, that will have a tragic ending. I think that the theme  in this case, is interesting because, Goethe  tries to teach  us another way to see the Bible, also   in which kind of  stories is the Bible based in  for us to  nderstand, or  to get another idea, because, at the same time,  this story has a  "greek"  side,  because it has parts where the Mithology is comepletlly involved.

To sum it up, in my opinion, this book is mainly based  in the Bible,  because in the  years that  the book was beeing written,   religion   was changed, and  they accepted many things, and  in this case , as it is located in Germany, the religion was important for the unification of the country   based in the principle of nationalism, where people look forward   the same ideas  for them  fo get together as one country, and Goethe is looking  for a way to teach  people about what does the bible says.
