Fausto é o protagonista de uma lenda alemã clássica. Ele é um estudioso muito bem-sucedido, mas insatisfeito com sua vida, por isso faz um pacto com o Diabo, trocando sua alma por conhecimento ilimitado e prazeres mundanos. A lenda de Fausto foi a base de muitas obras literárias, artísticas, cinematográficas e musicais que a reinterpretaram ao longo dos tempos. Fausto e o adjetivo faustiano implicam uma situação em que uma pessoa ambiciosa rende integridade moral a fim de alcançar poder e sucesso por um período delimitado. O Fausto dos primeiros livros - bem como as baladas, dramas, filmes e peças de fantoches que cresceram fora deles - é irrevogavelmente condenado porque prefere o conhecimento humano ao divino; “Colocou as Sagradas Escrituras atrás da porta e debaixo da bancada, recusou-se a ser chamado de doutor em teologia, mas preferiu ser denominado doutor em medicina”. Peças de teatro e teatro de fantoches vagamente baseadas nesta lenda eram populares em toda a Alemanha no século 16, muitas vezes reduzindo Fausto e Mefistófeles a figuras de diversão vulgar. A história foi popularizada na Inglaterra por Christopher Marlowe, que lhe deu um tratamento clássico em sua peça, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus. Na reelaboração da história por Goethe, duzentos anos depois, Fausto se torna um intelectual insatisfeito que anseia por "mais do que comida e bebida terrenas" em sua vida.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (/ˈgɜː(r)tə/; German: [ˈjoːhan ˈvɔlfɡaŋ ˈɡøːtə] ( listen); 28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832) was a German writer and statesman. His body of work includes epic and lyric poetry written in a variety of metres and styles; prose and verse dramas; memoirs; an autobiography; literary and aesthetic criticism; treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour; and four novels. In addition, numerous literary and scientific fragments, more than 10,000 letters, and nearly 3,000 drawings by him exist. A literary celebrity by the age of 25, Goethe was ennobled by the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, Karl August in 1782 after first taking up residence there in November 1775 following the success of his first novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther. He was an early participant in the Sturm und Drang literary movement. During his first ten years in Weimar, Goethe served as a member of the Duke's privy council, sat on the war and highway commissions, oversaw the reopening of silver mines in nearby Ilmenau, and implemented a series of administrative reforms at the University of Jena. He also contributed to the planning of Weimar's botanical park and the rebuilding of its Ducal Palace, which in 1998 were together designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
