5. Analysis
At the crucial moments when Faustus wavers, the
devils always try to divert him in some sensual
manner.
When Faustus begins to question Mephistopheles
about primeval causes, the devils try to take his
mind off these noble questions and force him to
think about carnal matters.
Consequently, in this scene the powers of hell
divert Faustus by bringing forth the seven deadly
sins to entertain Faustus and remove all these
troublesome question from his mind.
