Faustus has changed through out history many times. For example, the story of Faustus has been portrayed in the modern movie, The Pirates of the Caribbean. It was precedent in the second movie, that Captain Jack Sparrow made a deal with the devil of the sea, Davey Jones, and it actually may have been that he sold his soul to be captain of the Black Pearl for 24 years, relating very closely to the story of Doctor Faustus. This interpretations of the story was portrayed in a movie, and showed the story if Doctor Faustus was a pirate in the 1700's. To bring it updated to today's society, I would say that the most common place to find a story such as Doctor Faustus would be on Wall Street. The person of Doctor Faustus pursuits would be a businessperson, from AIG. This businessperson probably sold his soul a long time ago, and was finally taken last year in October, the jump-start for a recession. This businessperson sold his soul for a successful business as many would to pursue a career that can grantee wealth, power, and fame.

Mephistopheles would be an American Icon, such as Michael Jordon. He would present himself in this manner to demonstrate to him that there are better roads to take. For instance, Michael Jordan pursued and achieved his status in life. Also, the way he never presented himself to succumb to short cuts or corruption. That through his example, there should be no reason to take short cuts to achieve a goal, which selling your soul is not a good reason because you will never be able to enjoy your accomplishments, since you sold your soul to the devil.

In today’s modern world, people are always looking to take a short cut, but it is most precedent in the career of a businessperson. Our society is starting to lack spiritual feelings. That we are given this gift of life, but choose to aspire a goal that is never reached.

Also to note, I noticed the picture on the blog, to remind everyone about Homer Simpson and how he sold his soul for a donut. Luckly, he did not end up giving his sould to the devil because he had already sold his soul to his wife. (Isn't that so sweet)
