The Pros And Cons Of Dr. Faustian Bargain
Dr. Faustus is about a scholar who is not satisfied with what he has accomplished so far so he summons a powerful demon named Mephistopheles.

Based on the play and my research, I think that this whole ordeal is unjust due to the way the government treated the citizens. “But none of us wanted to leave. And why did we have to? They want to make money on that land. They’re going to sell it and get rich.” (Bevins) . I know people are thinking that the Olympics are making the country a lot of money. Which it is but to withhold certain information from the country’s citizens is not right. They moved “roughly 825 families” out of their homes (Bevins).
