The purpose of the Theatre.

The theatre director approaches the theatre from a financial perspective, and is looking to make an income by pleasing the crowd;

The poet aspires to create a work of art with meaningful content.

An actor (also referred to as the fool or merry person) seeks his own glory through fame as an actor;

Many productions use the same actors later in the play to draw connections between characters:

- the director reappears as God,

- the poet as Faust,

- the buffoon as Mephistopheles.[1]

Mephisto is a 1936 novel of Klaus Mann on which an award-winning 1981 movie was based. The novel adapts the Mephistopheles/Dr Faustus theme by having the main character Hendrik Höfgen abandon his conscience and continue to act and ingratiate himself with the Nazi Party to keep and improve his job and social position.

The novel portrays actor Hendrik Höfgen's rise from the Hamburger Künstlertheater (Artists' Theater Hamburg) in 1936 to nationwide fame in 1936. Initially, Höfgen flees from the Nazis to Paris because of his communist past but realizes that he has already lost some of his friends. When he returns to Berlin, he manages to win over Lotte von Lindenthal, the wife of a Luftwaffe general who also thinks highly of him. He accepts the role of Mephisto in Faust Part One and realizes that he actually made a pact with evil (i.e. Nazism) and lost his humane values (even denunciating his mistress "Black Venus"). There are situations where Höfgen tries to help his friends or tells the prime minister about concentration camp hardships, but he is always concerned not to lose his Nazi patrons.

Mann's most famous novel, Mephisto, was written in 1936 and first published in Amsterdam. The novel is a thinly-disguised portrait of his former brother-in-law, the actor Gustaf Gründgens. The literary scandal surrounding it made Mann posthumously famous in West Germany, as Gründgrens' adopted son brought a legal case to have the novel banned after its first publication in West Germany in the early 1960s. After seven years of legal hearings, the West German Supreme Court banned it by a vote of three to three, although it continued to be available in East Germany and abroad. The ban was lifted and the novel published in West Germany in 1981.

Mann's novel Der Vulkan is one of the 20th century's most famous novels about German exiles during WWII.

He died in Cannes of an overdose of sleeping pills. He was buried there in the Cimetière du Grand Jas.
