Dr. Faustus Scene I

At the end of Scene I I feel that Faustus is growing stronger and stronger toward the idea of becoming a divine person. He says "he will be resolute" (7) meaning he will be above everyone around him they will have to look up towards him. Faustus believes that once he becomes skilled in magic he will want nothing more. I do not believe this for he has been so undeceive in the past that there will be something new come along. He focuses completely on learning magic and since he is skilled in all areas he does not have to learn those other areas first. "This night I'll conjure though I die therefore" (8). I am wondering if he believes that he is so amazing of a person that he will be able to learn some magic right away or he will die trying. I also wonder if this isn't a sign of what is going to come; I think he is going to give his soul to the devil in return for the gift of magic now I don't know if the devil would trick him or what for sure will be happening. The cover of my book has the fire on it in my eyes that represents hell this is another reason I think he is going to work with the devil for his power he wants so bad.
