Summary
The Epilogue of the book will summarize both the unifying characteristics and the marked differences to be found in the many dramatic and cinematic adaptations/appropriations of the Faust legend. In the Epilogue, I will also speculate on the reason for the Faust legend’s durability and its continuing relevance to our contemporary society.
