... The Importance of Scene 5 in context with the whole play "Now Faustus, must thou be damned, And canst thou be saved" Scene 1 These are the words that open scene five as Faustus says them whilst sitting in his study. He is pondering on the like-hood of damnation. This scene has a repetitive sequence with a few phases. This is also the first time that we see Faustus expressing doubt as written in the above quote. This is one of the phases. He also becomes more resolute as he calls on the devil Memphostophilis. Persuasion is the second as persuasive efforts are made by the Good and Evil Angels to influence him. "...think of heaven, and of heavenly things" - Good Angel. "...think of honour and of wealth" - Evil Angel Scene five is important because it shows Faustus' transaction from an honourable Christian to a greedy Satanist.
