Pact With The Devil Bad Reputation Faust

the past couple of centuries. Accounts of men
signing deals with the devil have been recounted
since before the Reformation. Most of the time,
the party accused of associating with the devil
was forgiven by God and not sentenced to fulfill
his contract. It was believed by some, that to
conjure up a demon that could be controlled
through Jesus was an act of faith- and as such
could be used for noble purposes. The first
Christian era account of a ...

Billy The Kid King Arthur

If the name of King Arthur is mentioned, I suppose
what comes to mind is not so much one person as a
whole array of characters and themes, a montage so
to speak. Of course we do think first of the King,
the magnificent monarch of a glorified or
idealized medieval realm. But we think also of his
Queen, of the fair and wayward Guinevere, we think
of his enchanter, Merlin, who presided over his
birth, who set him on the throne, who established
him there in the early and travelled days of his
reign....

Milton Paradise Lost Shelley Frankenstein

the isolated individual would become vicious. This
