Enter GOOD ANGEL and EVIL ANGEL.
GOOD ANGEL. O, Faustus, lay that damnèd book aside,
And gaze not on it, lest it tempt thy soul,
And heap God's heavy wrath upon thy head!
Read, read the Scriptures:--THAT (book) is blasphemy.
BAD ANGEL. Go forward, Faustus, in that famous art
Wherein all Nature's treasure is contained:
Be thou on earth as Jove is in the sky,
Lord and commander of these elements.
[Exeunt Angels.]

Every time I read any of the Good and Bad Angel lines, I think of this:

Love the lines right after Faust signs his soul over...75-82. Homo fuge , whither should I fly? He immediately is struck by this regret/possibility of repentance and denies it

I am interested in the fact that there is a Good angel and a Bad angel (not a demon or devil)!
DO we use the word Angel meaning messanger? so how do we approache these characters, are we both in Faustus mind representing different part of himself? Soul vs Ego. Are we both messengers of God? Who is God? We never see him but we see Lucifer (who was an angel as well) Did God created us to be bad? Is God an Energy and not a being that creates opposites so that we can find the middle and live in a balanced way? What is Good? what is Bad? Is there anything else that judges us out of ourselves? SO many questions arised!!

Is Good and Bad a moral concept to manipulate people/kids (i.e Donald's video!!!). A medium of conformism or is their a deeper truth common to the whole human race? Is there anything that is purely bad or is it always someone who wants to do goo or be happy and by ignorance, hurt others and himself?

I think this brings the question of morality , is there a universal one , or at the end of the day , are we amoralists creatures , making decisions based on our needs and depending on the circumtances ?
