Answer:
B. Faustus's conflicting attitude toward sin and repentance
Explanation:
The tragic story of Doctor Faustus is an English play written by Christopher Marlowe, based on the legend of Faustus, in which a man sells his soul to the devil to gain power and knowledge. It can be interpreted as a metaphor of a man who chooses the material over the spiritual, so he loses his soul. Marlowe's Faust was published in 1604, eleven years after Marlowe's death and twelve after his first performance.
In the story, at one point Faustus begins to doubt his decision. The good angel asks him to abandon his plans and think about heaven but rejects his words saying that God does not want him anymore. The angel of evil perseveres that profits are well worth the cost. Faustus then calls Mephistopheles who says that Lucifer has accepted his offer. Faustus asks why Lucifer has accepted his offer, to which he replies that Lucifer seeks souls to populate his kingdom and make humans suffer just as he suffers.
