Sympathy for the Devil: Faust, the ’60s, and the Tragedy of Development Sympathy for the Devil: Faust, the ’60s, and the Tragedy of Development Our day and night at the Pentagon, like Faust’s encounter with the Earth Spirit, marked a new awareness of ominous, fearful powers that had to be dealt with before our dreams of freedom and self-fulfillment could be made real.
Second Metamorphosis: The LoverGoethe and his Devil are consummate ironists, and one of the central ironies of the Faust tragedy is that in the course of working in concert with the Devil, Faust becomes a genuinely better man.
And indeed, after a little while with the Devil, Faust becomes strikingly attractive and exciting.
Working actively to recreate the world, Faust finally comes into his own: “One mind for a thousand hands.” Faust becomes a hard and merciless autocrat.
Their sensitivity to the human costs of development desensitized them to its real human gains.
