His speech is beautiful‚ but he seems unable or unwilling‚ to realize that his words are only a damned man’s fantasy. He asks Helen to make him immortal “Sweet Helen‚ make me immortal with a kiss”. Does this show that he has learnt his lesson and is ready to die or does it mean that he wishes to become mortal in order to prevail over Lucifer.

Fuller starts off by identifying that we as human beings tend to make well-known historical figures almost immortal.
