O this feeds my soul This shows that Faustus is interested in pleasure and fun not in saving his soul Lucifer shows the sins to make Faustus forget about God Symbols of Faustus s Sins The Seven Deadly Sins are symbols of Faustus s sins Each sin represents a flaw in Faustus himself For example Faustus is very proud of his knowledge He is greedy for more power knowledge and wealth Faustus is also lustful and desires women He asks Mephistophilis to bring Helen of Troy for his pleasure He says Sweet Helen make me immortal with a kiss Faustus does not realise that these sins are his own sins Warning to the Audience The Seven Deadly Sins are not only for Faustus They are also a warning to the audience This scene teaches that sin may look fun but it leads to hell In short the Seven Deadly Sins are significant in this play Faustus s delight in the sins proves his soul belongs to hell They also teach the audience that sin is dangerous and can destroy the soul
