Hey kids!
Here's a protip: Don't think yourself above people and assume you need to be omnipotent - because you will die!
Oops, was that a spoiler? Well it's a pretty known fact (for those of you who watch Supernatural) that you don't make deals with a demon!
It's just plain common knowledge.
The play was good. Gives out handy tips/morals:
1. Don't make deals with the seedy inhabitants of the Underworld.
2. Don't think too much of yourself (Remember Narcissius?).
I mean that's pretty much all. There's an adaption of Faustus with Richard Burton (as the good old stupid Faustus) and Elizabeth Taylor (as a woman) - though she doesn't do much other than have extremely annoying screechy music as her entrance music.
