Liza offers to help Pavel achieve his dreams and desires, but in exchange, he must give her his soul. As Pavel becomes more and more obsessed with Liza and his own desires, he begins to spiral out of control, leading to a tragic and haunting conclusion.Turgenev's Faust is a powerful exploration of the human condition, examining themes of desire, temptation, and the consequences of our actions.
