【正确答案】正确答案：Faustus is a Wittenberg scholar who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for twenty-four years of power. In many ways, Faustus typifies the Renaissance hero who strove for and sometimes attained ambitious military or navigational goals. Faustus sought ultimate; power and forbidden knowledge, so the tragedy of Faustus is characteristic of a humanist in the age of Renaissance.
