*nods* That's really interesting! And I'll spoil the ending of Sayers' for you because it fits into this -- Faust indeed chooses to go to hell, but with his faculties of loving God intact, because at least that way he can keep wishing for God and Christ -- and God says to Mephistopheles that one day he will require the good grain at M's hands -- implying that although Faust is in hell, that somehow and in some way he will be redeemed in the end. So I found it really interesting that Sayers was reconciling Marlowe's justice of the pact with Mephistopheles with the universality that Goethe argued for.
