Johann Georg Faust
Johann Georg Faust was a historical figure whose life inspired the legendary character in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 'Faust'. Known as an alchemist, magician, and astrologer, Faust is believed to have lived in the late 15th to early 16th century. His pursuit of knowledge and power led to the myth of making a pact with the devil, symbolizing the human quest for ultimate understanding and fulfillment. Faust's story has been interpreted as a reflection on ambition, desire, and the moral implications of one's choices.
