SGBH 336 - Deals with the Devil4.00 credit hours
What does it mean to sell your soul to the devil? To answer this question, the course will study the legend of Faust, a learned man who makes a pact with Satan. After spending the first several weeks of the course tracing the roots of the figure of the devil to its biblical and early Christian roots, we explore the story of Faust and its legacy in drama, literature, music, and film. Over the course of this investigation, we discover that what is at stake in this odd story is nothing less than the meaning of human freedom.
Cardinal Directions Designation(s): Ethical Dimensions, Writing Intensive.
