The protagonists in this section mainly include God, Angels and Devil:
1. Mystic Stophilus: The name comes from Hebrew, which originally contains the meanings of liar, evildoer, denier of goodness and destroyer, and it is used to call the devil in poetry and drama.
2. earthly gods: it is a progressive and representative idea to refer to people and regard people as gods since the Renaissance in Europe.
3, Faust: is the hero of poetic drama, and he is regarded as the representative of the world.
In The Prelude to Heaven, the devil Mifesto believes that the world represented by Faust is ambitious, ambitious and never satisfied, and will not have a good end. On the other hand, God believes that Faust will inevitably fall into the wrong path in his pursuit, and will inevitably fall into the magic path for a while, but he will eventually embark on the right path. Their views are quite different, so they bet that Mephisto would seduce Faust to see if he would give up his noble pursuit, abandon good and evil, and become a captive of the devil. God did this because he felt that there was a devil at his side, but it could stimulate and promote the unremitting efforts of the people who love ease and play a complementary role.
