The bust of Mephistopheles with a smug grin suggests his ironic role in Goethe's entire drama Faust. Mephistopheles, who concludes a pact with Faust, is a master of rhetoric and questions everything that is sacred to people. He ironizes humanity and faith and is the embodiment of existential doubts. "And rightly so: since everything created, In turn deserves to be annihilated: Better if nothing came to be."
