read both part 1 and 2
part 1 had a clear plot and structure and there were parts that were really interesting. one could mostly follow it although there were parts that used strange language and had many references that the modern reader wouldn't understand
part 2 is a giant, sprawling ambitious mess, not published until goethe died, and it is basically unreadable without a study guide
i'm not sure if i appreciated reading it overall. but now i have direct knowledge of "faustian spirit" and "faustian pact" instead of relying on second hand definitions

I have read that Goethe's is better but the ending of Marlowe's is satisfyingly lurid and tragic.
Faustus hysterically repents and begs forgiveness during his final hour on earth. He sees the blood of Christ in the heavens, and calls out for Christ's protection. For saying God's name, Satan rends his heart. He begs God to limit his damnation to a thousand years or a hundred thousand but then remembers human souls are damned forever.
Midnight comes and the demons take him off to hell. The next morning his students find the walls streaked with his brains and blood, his mutilated body thrown on a pile of horse dung outside.
